Seth – CP and ONH Stem Cell Patient

Seth was born in 2008 and was soon diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP) and optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH). Seth received adult stem cell therapy in China to treat symptoms of CP and potentially improve his vision. Seth's grandmother sat with us for an interview in St Joseph, Missouri.
