The Dallas Hextell Story

Our son Dallas was diagnosed at 8 months with cerebral palsy, a type of brain injury from birth that has no known cure. But we made a decision before Dallas was born that has changed our lives. We banked Dallas' cord blood. Dallas was among the first in the country to be infused with his own cord blood stem cells in an effort to induce healing in his brain. We began to notice improvements in him soon after his procedure. Today, with the help of therapists, Dallas is doing things we thought might never happen. He runs, he laughs and he's beginning to talk.
