In this economy wait tell its one of your children, or grandchild. GOD HELP THIS BOY.....PLEASE, PLEASE.PLEASE....SOMEBODY HELP HIM

We the family asked the doctors when they sat us down to tell us this, we asked, would you tread your child like this? We received no response. These people where as cold as ICE. This little boy of 4 will be dead in 10 months because his family can't afford to keep him alive. This hospital, just like every other hospital in this country wants one thing, MONEY, if you don't have MONEY you are not welcome.

That is my Nephew in the yellow PJ's, his name is Travis. Last night we where told Travis has 10 months to live. He has had two transplants and both failed. The family has done research on his desease and after the first failure of the transplant, his splien should have been removed. They would not do this.

This is a great story about how healthcare innovation triumph over a medical condition by a family with a history of loss from that same condition. Thanks so much for sharing it!
