Ethan has a Medical Trip to Utah for a Month
Donation protected
On May 22nd this year, Ethan was rushed to Renown because he was appearing anemic and it turned out that his Red Blood Cell count was extremely low.
Ethan was given TWO blood transfusions overnight and Angela was given a temporary diagnosis of TEC - Transient Erythroblastopenia of Childhood. Angela was told to keep him monitored and to bring him in if there were any changes.
During the last week of June, Ethan began running a low-grade fever and she decided to take him back in - he was again admitted and this time both his Red & White Blood Cell counts were low.
Angela was given 2 new possible, interim diagnoses. Ethan's Bone Marrow has failed. He has either got:
* Autoimmune Aplastic Anemia - an acquired condition in which his own immune system is attacking his bone marrow.
* Fanconi Anemia - an inherited condition where there is an abnormal gene from both the mother & the father; each of whom must be a 'carrier' for the condition.
Either way, it appears that Ethan needs a Bone Marrow transplant and here is where it gets sticky.
The only facility that can perform the necessary procedure is located in Salt Lake City, UT. The doctor also feels that Ethan's baby sister Alice may be the prime and possibly only candidate for being Ethan's Bone Marrow Donor. This is a risky procedure for BOTH of Angela's children.
Please give GENEROUSLY, as Angela now must find her way to Utah and stay for a month away from her home and all who know her. She is going to need this money to not only keep her home running in her absence - but to get her and both of her children to another state & stay for an entire month.
The logistics alone are a nightmare, and that is without all the stress this young, single mother is going through.
Find it in your heart to donate even one dollar to this campaign, and even if you can't - please share it as often as possible.
