Jamison’s Story
Jamison Vincent Abrenica was diagnosed with a severe case of aplastic anemia on May 5, 2010. Jamison has undergone test after test, including a bone marrow biopsy and is going to have a central line inserted. Throughout all of this he has stayed strong and happy. Despite all of the poking, prodding, and needles, he still carries a beautiful smile.
Jamison will undergo chemotherapy and will need a bone marrow transplant. Because he is of Filipino-American descent, it may be difficult to find a match for him. His only sister Malia and both of his parents are not matches.
Jamison turned 2 years old on August 4, 2010 and loves to play with monster trucks and he adores his older sister Malia and misses being with the other kids at daycare. This is the time of his life where he should be growing and learning and exploring the world.
As of September 2010 Jamison’s doctors are putting his search for a bone marrow match on hold because Jamison is responding very well to immunosuppressive therapy. However things can change at any moment and Jamison’s family wants to be proactive and prepared for the future. Please teach Jamison the beauty in selflessness and humanity by becoming a registered bone marrow donor today.
