Overcoming cortical blindness
and brain-injury
We have been blessed with a very special child, our
son Sterling, 19 years old. Sterling was born blind and brain- injured due to a massive
cerebral hemorrhaging (stroke) he sustained in utero or at birth. Doctors had told us that
cortical blindness (pertaining to the cortex area of the brain) is irreversible.
Their prognosis was that our son would remain blind and a vegetable for the rest of his
life.
