A boy who lost his sight and also the ability to walk and talk after an asthma attack cut off oxygen to his brain is slowly recovering.

Dante [Hall] was stricken last June and remained unconscious for a month. When he regained consciousness, he suffered from memory loss, blindness, and couldn’t walk or talk.

He went home in August and, with help from physical therapists, learned to walk again.

“He couldn’t talk when he came home from the hospital,” his mother said, but now “he won’t stop.”

Jenika Hall said doctors at Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth, where Dante was treated, visited in December and were amazed at his progress.
