Mony was not vaccinated for polio when he was born. I did not know any
children who had the disease.
He was 2 1/2 when he became sick.
I took him to the hospital, and the doctors told me he couldn't be cured, but I refused to believe them.
I took him to have acupuncture, which was expensive. We sold our house to pay his medical bills. The acupuncture
helped him move a little bit, but he still wasn't cured.
Without braces for his legs, he couln't go down stairs by himself. It was too difficult fore me to carry him.
He had to stay inside and unable to go to school. He was angry all the time
and would throw things.
Now he has braces that help him walk so he no longer has to remain upstairs. He can go outside when he wants
and is able to attend school. Moving on his own has changed his behavior.
He is much happier."
