Maia had a brain injury at birth - she was oxygen deprived and her cordblood was reinfused to regenerated her damaged brain tissue. She is the 51st child to have the treatment at Duke University hospital. For more information about this amazing treatment you can go the the CNS Foundation and read about Mary Schneider and her son Ryan. He was the first person to have his cord blood reinfused to treat his CP and he is now a completely well 6 year old boy.

That's a good question. I didn't see any specifics in the article.

What did she have that her developmental delays could be treated with cord blood? I didn't realize that there was even a possibility for this kind of treatment of most developmental issues.

We're banking our son's cord blood publically. I can't bring myself to justify the expense of private banking unless we know he's going to need it. On the off chance he needs it, we've at least boosted the odds of it still being there when the time comes. If he doesn't, he could help others, especially because he's mixed race.
