A test to screen patients with NEMO
Jordan S Orange and Raquel P. Deering just published a new article at the Clinical Vaccine Immunology journal where they talk about a test to evaluate primary immune deficiencies like NEMO where cells are unable to recognize certain disease-producing micro-organisms. Just imagine! Andy had to deal with infections for two years before finding his diagnosis,…
Sofia climbed jumped out of her crib today
She started walking when she was nine months old. She’s twenty two months old now and already climbing jumping out of her crib. She did it twice today. “Mamá, Mamá, Sofia se bajó de su cuna!!” Andy shouted (Mom, Mom, Sofia climbed down from her crib).

Literary depth… The New Yorker
I must admit, I’ve never read one single page of The New Yorker.. Founded in 1925, The New Yorker hardly changed for its first 60 years, both in its dry, type-heavy design and in its reputation as a writer’s and reader’s haven. In 1987 it was on only its second editor when management decided to…
Oreck + Wiva-Vac
Andy and I used to play with the suction machine in his hospital room during his transplant. The official use of that suctioning machine is to clear pieces of tissue and blood coming out of the patient’s mouth when they get mucositis. We had another use for the machine.. We used it almost on a…
Literary depth
Here’s some recent comments to the book from a respected publisher: I’ve looked through the material you sent me about Andy Trevino’s illness and the family’s tremendous efforts to help him survive. It is certainly a powerful story–one that interweaves personal efforts with cutting edge science and medicine. That said, I don’t think this is…
