Dr. Ramirez often treats severe cases of cerebral palsy. C.S. is one of these children. With about 40% of his brain damaged, the physicians were doubtful if C.S. would respond to the treatment. The parents wanted to try anyway. This was their last hope. A catheter procedure was done so that the cord stem cells could be placed directly in the damaged area of the brain. Within two months, the seizures had significantly decreased. C.S. is now stronger, more alert and he is talking more.
