Miracle in Minneapolis
This is where previous attempts had failed and where Dr. Good and his associates succeeded.
By August 1968, the entire Camp family had journeyed to the March of Dimes Birth Defects Research Center in Mineapolis.
After extensive testing of David’s four sisters, nine-yearold Doreen was chosen as the donor. On Augus't 24, the transplant was performed. About two ounces of marrow was withdrawn through a hollow needle from Doreen’s hipbone and injected into David’s abdominal cavity.
On September 2, Labor Day, David began to take a turn for the worse. But after an initial bout with the dreaded GVH reaction, his symptoms subsubsided and the donor cells seemed to take hold. A second transplant was required in November and David oegan to improve dramatically.
