Father, son undertake journey for therapy In doing Internet research, David Mobley found stem cell therapy available for Michael in only four countries: China, Costa Rica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Of those, he chose China because the $20,000 fee included a six-week hospital stay, which included a mix of eastern and western medicine. David withdrew money from his 401(k), and in late November he and his wife of two years, Dana, flew a commercial airline to China with Michael. They moved Michael - a "152-pound infant" - in and out of airline seats and wheelchairs for the 30-hour trip. Over the six-week stay, doctors injected four doses of umbilical cord stem cells into Michael's spinal cord, with a fifth introduced intravenously.
