Cure 4 Simon!

Posted on February 23, 2006 by Andres Trevino

Please help Simon. I introduced Simon here three days ago. He’s almost six months old, he has NEMO and a compatible sister. He’s in the middle of his stem cell transplant, he’s receiving chemo infusions right now to get rid of his immune system and replace it with the help of stem cells from his sister Marriana who is a full match.
He’s at the stem cell transplant unit of Children’s Memorial Hospital Chicago. He’s on the fourth day of chemo.
Simon’s dad David is a carpenter and he does not get paid if he does not go to work, there’s no telecommuting for carpentry. And Simon’s Mom Tracy is a office manager/account rep for a small law firm. Their insurance is “reviewing” the transplant procedure to see if they are goint to pay. They are afraid they might loose their house.
Tracy is nervous and very afraid. We’ve been exchanging emails since Monday.
Tracy is setting up a PayPal account for donations. I will post it here as soon as I get it.
And here is Simon’s webpage and BLOG.

I believe from the bottom of my heart and even from my bone marrow that Simon will win the battle and recover NEMO functionality.
