Sure, I appreciate you assistance!

Yes I talked to both Boston and Stanford, as well as Japan, these are all out of reach for us living in Iran, I talked to Nadia Khan, INI in Germany and GOSH UK...

We will try INI, it is the closest one(Germany), meanwhile Im waiting for any positive response from Dubai or Qatar,

you can contact doctors in india too
I have posted the details on the forum but here they are again

Hello all,
WE are from India, but moved to the US (for no one wanted to touch our son of 6 months ) to perform surgery for Moyamoya. However, during my frantic search, I was able to find Doctors who were willing to perform surgery on toddlers/ adults with moyamoya.
Dr. Lokesh Lingappa (Rainbow Hospital, Hyderabad) He is a neurologist, but has contacts with neurosurgeons who can help. He mostly recommends Dr. Manas Panighari (From KIMS Hoppital, Hyderabad)
Drs. from AIIMS , New Delhi also perform the surgery I understand.
Dr Charudutt Apte: Shayadri Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra.

Thank you,
He was able to say words and make few sentences before his third stroke, after that and after recent operation(3 weeks ago) he is not able to say words, he dont talk, do you think he will be able to talk in future? he is 3 years old and although left side brain is damaged by strokes, his talking may shift to right side?

he sounds like he was nearly the same age as our son when he had 3 severe strokes.  our child had to relearn to talk each time.  continue to work with him and talk to him often, play games with word associations with pictures, etc.  the positives of this at such a young age are the remarkable ability of the brain to remap neural pathways. 

i wish you the best
