Arturito was originally believed to have the flu, but after being admitted to the hospital, he was placed on a ventilator, and his health began to further decline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like Chris and Connie, we too desperately scoured the internet and eventually after stumbled across the nucleoside drug therapy,&#8221; said Estopinan. &#8220;There was no guarantee it would work. But after being told by so many doctors there was nothing we could do at all, it was hope. We were also warned that these medications might cause side effects but as Arturito&#8217;s only alternative was death we didn&#8217;t see any harm in trying it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The parents saw a change in Arturito within three months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before the therapy he&#8217;d been unable to move his fingers or toes but after several months he could move his hands and feet,&#8221; said Estopinan. &#8220;He was more alert and awake. It was amazing to see our little boy coming back to us. There were no side effects either and after a year on the experimental medications he was well enough to come home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Farthur.estopinan%2Fvideos%2F313108945816154%2F&amp;show_text=1&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"467\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Six years later, Arturito continues to get stronger, and he is able to communicate with head movements and clicks of his tongue.
