A baby boy who was born by cesarean section on June 13 of this year. At birth the child was not breathing and was given oxygen to help him start breathing. Since then he has suffered seizures and was in coma for several days. His physicians have diagnosed him with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, meaning brain damage due to lack of oxygen and low blood flow. The Chinese physicians will consult with neonatologists Joseph Kitterman and David Stevenson from Lucile Packard Children's Health Services to determine a plan for recuperation and management of the patient to prevent further complications.
