Bubble boy turns 11 as hope grows for life beyond bubble
David, living in a germ-free three compartment bubble, celebrates his 11th birthday with his family and sister Kathleen planning a party and Mass. He attends school by telephone, excels academically, and doctors consider bone marrow transplantation as his only potential treatment, amid ongoing medical advances in immune therapy. His older brother died of the same disease, SCID, and he remains the United States’ second germ-free birth.
