Dear Friends,
A friend of mine sent me this message. The news of their friends is so tragically sad. Being a mother of 2 (almost 3) makes me ache for their family even more! I would feel so desperate in the quest to save my children, as they are feeling. Please read it and pass it on to your local friends, co-workers or family who might be comfortable with their request. Please include them in your prayers. Thanks and God Bless!

They have three little < < boys and unfortunately two of the boys have a disease < < called ALD. < < < < ALD is similiar to the adult form of ALS or Lou < < Gerrhigs's disease. ALD attacks the brain first and < < then moves to the muscles and is fatal. Recently, a < < bone marrow procedure was developed to treat this < < disease. < < < < The oldest child is 9 and his disease is too advanced < < for him to be a candidate for the procedure. The < < second little boy is 7 and was just diagnosed with < < ALD. Time is of the essence in order to possibly save < < his life. < < < < Now, this is where we need your help!!!! The family < < and all of their close friends have been tested and no < < one is a donor match. < < < < If a donor is found the bone marrow is taken from the < < hip under general anasthesa. There may be some < < soreness in the hip for a few weeks. Elliott is then < < given high doses of chemotherapy to kill his immune < < system and then given the bone marrow. He will then be < < in issolation for four months. < < < < If you are willing to be tested, by a simple blood < < test, to see if you could be a donor please go to the < < address below on November 4th between 10:00 a.m. and < < 5:00 p.m. (the test takes about 2 minutes) < < < < Congregation Beth Israel < < 5600 North Braeswood (between Chimney Rock and < < Hillcroft) < < < < Thank you for all of your help!!!! If you have any < < questions, please e-mail me or call at 713/365-0472. < < < < Julie < < < < __________________________________________________ < < Do You Yahoo!? < < Make a great connection at Yahoo!
