Searching for AA Patients in Vancouver, WA

My son Timothy was diagnosed with AA in 2005. I learned of a State Cluster study being conducted regarding 6 AA cases in the Kalama, WA area in Oct 2006. I contacted the team but they would not include my son in the study because we lived more than 18 miles from the chemical plant. I was told if I could locate 3 more AA cases in Clark county they might expand the cluster study to Clark county. I kind of thought when you reported a rare illness like AA to the DOH they would look for other cases in the area to determine if there was reason to be concerned about a possible toxic exposure.
If you have been diagnosed with AA and live in Clark county or even the Portland, OR area please contact me. A 9 year old boy passed away from AA last month in Vancouver. I learned about this in reading the obituaries in the Columbian newspaper.
