We had made the decision to collect and store his cord blood with Cryo-Cell a few months before his birth. The process was so simple and we are now really glad we did. When Dalton was 1 month old, an in-depth hearing test confirmed that Dalton had profound nerve deafness. Now, we know that it is genetic, caused by mutations in the Connexin-26 gene. He has a cochlear implant on the left side, but we are choosing to leave the right ear alone in the hopes that some day they will find a way to regrow the hair cells inside his cochlea with the cord blood we saved. Who knows - it may be possible in the near future!
