Re: McBar54's post
So sorry to hear that your grandson has relapsed with AA. I want to tell you how wonderful it is that you are supporting him this way, reaching out to those of us who have been there and trying to gain as much info as you can. Good for you. Kids do have a courage and tenacity that far exceeds expectation ~ they are amazing!
My son was diagnosed with sAA just after his 10th birthday in November of 2007. He was a non-responder to one course of ATG and went on to have a successful BMT using an unrelated 9/10 donor (imperfect match) on June 12,2008. He escaped virtually every potential complication and is a healthy growing young man of 13 today.
Trust and hope got us through and it will for your grandson as well.
Evan's entire journey is linked below.
Best wishes for your grandson's return to health.
