US researchers have begun a groundbreaking trial to test the potential of umbilical cord blood transplants, a kind of stem cell therapy, to treat and possibly reverse hearing loss in infants.
While Finn McGrath still faces many challenges due to his cerebral palsy, his mother is grateful for the things he can do.
"I don't know how much worse off he would have been without the stem cell transfusion," McGrath said, pointing to his normal cognition, lack of seizures, good hearing and vision.
"We remain hopeful that he will continue to improve."
