Hello All,

We are visiting the Dr. today to discuss treatment for our 8 yr. old daughter Lillie who was diagnosed w/ AA this week. I have spent hours (feels like days) on the web researching BMT treatment and different Drs. that specialize in AA. My wife, Vickie & I are expecting to test ourselves and our other 3 kids for a BMT donor match. My big thing now is where to go.

I've researched Barnes-Jewish/Children's Hospital in St. Louis, but I've also seen & read alot about great things from Childrens Hosp in Milwaukee. Dr. David Margolis' name has come up a lot in my research. When I review the stats on each center in the Nat. Marrow Donor Program site (marrow.org), I find that they perform 4 times the number of BMT's for AA patients in Milwaukee compared to St. Louis. We live in St. Louis & I know Barnes-Jewish is EXCELLENT! Being new to AA, we just want to have the best possible people working with Lillie.

Any advice!

Thanks, Robbie (p.s.-this forum is a huge comfort, thanks!)
