I was informed last night that Good Morning America and Nightline are having specials regarding DeGeorge Syndrome and the special doctor at Duke that does the thymus glands transplants. If you recall, my friend, Chairee Messenger from church, has a baby girl, Anelise, that was born with this disease. She is at Duke right now awaiting a transplant which is super. I would encourage all of you to watch Nightline tonight to see how wonderful this transplant is. I already watch the clip on GMA this morning and I learned that when babies with just heart problems have heart surgeries the doctors often just throw the thymus gland away because it is has already done its job and is no longer needed. So, now, they just save these thymus glands and send them to Duke for these babies with no immune system to have them transplanted into their little bodies. Isn't that wonderful? Please keep this sweet family in your prayers.
