Leaf's family and friends plan for treatment in China

Leaf Baxter and his family will celebrate his first birthday in
November 2008. Born with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, a condition that
effects the development of the optic nerves, he has almost no vision.
Despite visiting top doctors throughout the US, the basic response has
been that nothing can be done to improve his vision. However, his
parents and a circle of concerned family members aren't giving up.
Leaf and his parents are bound for China. In China Leaf will receive
a series of umbilical stem cell treatments. He will need to stay in
the hospital there for one month, not only to receive the stem cells
that can help improve his vision, but also to receive intensive
therapy to train his mind how to use the increase in vision.
