RSS FeedJoe's Health Calendar for Feb. 6
Have a health-oriented event the public in San Joaquin County should know about? Let me know at jgoldeen@recordnet.com and I’ll get it into my Health Calendar. I’m not interested in promoting commercial enterprises here, but I am interested in helping out nonprofit and/or community groups, hospitals, clinics, physicians and other health-care providers. Look for four categories: Community Events, Hospitals, Public Health and Schools.
Life or Death for Baby Ricardo
Feb. 6 (today) 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and three more dates: Stockton baby Ricardo Buzo Jr., 14 months, has been diagnosed with Hurler syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by severe abnormalities in development of skeletal cartilage and bone, and mental retardation. By the end of February, he will need a bone marrow transplant or else he is expected to die between the ages of 6 and 10. At least four bone marrow drives are planned for Stockton in coming weeks. People, especially of Latino origin, are asked to stop by to fill out a brief questionnaire and have a mouth swab taken. If it’s positive, you will be called back quickly to provide a blood sample and could be asked to become a bone marrow donor. Two scheduled drives are planned for Feb. 6 (Saturday) and Feb. 14 (a Sunday) from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Teamsters Local 439, 1531 E. Fremont St., Stockton.
