Viktorie Sofie sits up for the first time using stem cell therapy

Four-year-old Viktorie Sofie, who suffers from severe disabilities including an inability to walk or speak, has achieved a milestone by sitting up for the first time thanks to stem cell therapy.

Her condition stems from a traumatic birth in December 2021, which resulted in a life-threatening emergency and required an immediate cesarean section. Her mother, Veronika, describes the intense, around-the-clock care required for the child, noting that Viktorie requires complete assistance with feeding, hygiene, and constant medical monitoring. Despite her challenges, the family describes her as a resilient fighter.
