| He was born with an inherited, fatal disease called Fanconi's Anemia. It is characterized by bone marrow failure. He is in bone marrow stress right now and his blood counts continue to drop. If you want to follow his daily journal go to his other website: www.caringbridge.org/va/nicholas.e.boggs He was born with club radial hands and missing radii. He had a trachea-esophageal fistula repaired at birth. He has only one kidney. He has to be fed via g-tube. He has a trach, to let him breathe easier. He also has hydrocephalus but had a v-p shunt that is taking care of the excess fluid on his brain. His only chance is a bone marrow transplant. The transplant will help him from getting leukemia or aplastic anemia. He does not have a matched sibling donor and his chances are only 30%. Please remember our family in your prayers. He is a very happy, loving, good-natured, wonderful little boy. |
