Thank YOU for the fun musical card and good wishes before our journey - it was a rough start over here, but things have smoothed out some. Leaf will have two treatments in one week next week. The stem cells give him a ton of energy the first day, and then fatigue for a few days after that, so I'm hoping two sessions wont be too hard on him.

In optic nerve hypoplasia, the nerve has not developed. This may mean that the child may have some vision or may be blind, depending on how much of the optic nerve is intact.
Hypopituitarismis the underactivity of the pituitary gland, resulting in inadequate hormone production.
