Hello everyone! Welcome to the launch of Miracle for Michael, a blog to keep Michael's family and friends informed. As most of you already know, Michael has been diagnosed with SEVERE aplastic anemia. Aplastic anemia is a rare and serious blood disorder in which the bone marrow (sponge-like tissue inside the bones) is unable to function properly and results in low red and white blood counts as well as a low platelet count. In the United States, about 500-1,000 people develop this type of anemia each year. He is currently receiving blood and platelet transfusions and is currently undergoing immunosuppressive therapy(ATG).
We are currently in beginning stages of planing a benefit for Michael and as more information becomes available it will be posted. Feel free to leave questions or comments for Michael and his family by adding a comment to the posting.
Please continue to read the site, learn about what Michael is going through.
