Baby Jonah is only a tiny infant ( DOB August 2,2007) He was diagnosed
with HLH ( Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocystosi s)  , a rare condition
where one of the immune cells attacks and eats all other blood cells .
He will need a bone marrow transplant by the end of October 2007 .
Currently he is going through 8 weeks of induction chemotherapy which
will hopefully place him into temporary remission after which he will be
placed into maintenance chemotherapy and proceed to BMT as soon as
possible.  BUT if he does not respond to chemotherapy, he will need to
go immediately to BMT and will need to find a match EVEN sooner. ANYBODY
of Chinese or Asian descent is preferred to get themselves screened
ASAP, and join the bone marrow registry, so that when the time comes,
their HLA-types can be compared with Jonah's.  PRELIMINARY HLA-TYPING
JUST REQUIRES A QUICK SWAB OF THE MOUTH OR A SMALL BLOOD SAMPLE. If
