Daniel Bakhchevnikov, a young 7 year old boy in Sauk City, Wisconsin, attended school for the first time in over 1 year recently. The miracle that Daniel is even alive is due to the wonders of Adult Stem Cell research in the form of a bone marrow transplant to treat his Aplastic Anemia.
Diagnosed with
Aplastic Anemia at the age of 5, Daniel had spent the last two years mostly in a hospital. In
aplastic anemia, the body does not produce enough new blood cells- red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The patient is always tired and at high risk of infections and uncontrollable bleeding.
Or another definition for Aplastic Anemia as Daniel's mother, Tatiana described it -
"
It was no life," she said. "It was hell."The doctors tried antibody treatments first. They didn't help. After going in and out of hospitals for more than one year, the doctors decided the only way to help Daniel was through a bone marrow transplant.
After chemotherapy treatments to kill as much of his old bone marrow as possible, Daniel received a bone marrow transplant from an anonymous European donor on Aug. 8, 2008.
The day his blood cell counts got high enough he could go home, Tatiana did a handstand in the hospital hallway.
I wish Daniel and his family the best in the future. Daniel is yet another in the long list of bone marrow (stem cell) transplant recipients to become healthy again. It makes one want to register to become a
bone marrow donor and try to help out.
