Andi,
I saw this article  on the Australian yahoo news a couple of days ago.

Stem cells 'reverse' MS in Canberra man
AAP December 15, 2009, 1:04 am

 
A Canberra man diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) just over 12 months ago appears to be on the road to recovery after being treated with stem cells.

Ben Leahy was in a wheelchair earlier this year and had suffered partial vision loss in one eye, but has since recovered to the point where he is walking.

The 20-year-old's remarkable recovery came after he underwent a procedure in which stem cells were harvested from his bone marrow, before chemicals were used to destroy all his existing immune cells.

Mr Leahy's stem cells were then re-injected.

ACT neurologist Dr Colin Andrews said the treatment appeared to have reversed the effects of MS which Mr Leahy was diagnosed with in August 2008.

For the rest of info see:

Don't  know what state stem cell research/treatment is in the US but certainly worth looking up info on it.

All my very best and season's greetings to you and yours.
