I called the ABC local tv to tell them to get in touch with parents to suggest to them to try St. Jude's. As I understand it, St. Jude's will treat a child for free, if parents can't afford it. The guy answering the phone said that he would try, but I don't know if he actually did.
If anyone has any other ideas, this baby might be saved. They do miracles at St. Jude's, and I hope the baby gets EVERY chance.
I'll repeat the post:
Hospital officials say they'll stop treating critically ill baby
(4/29/05 - HOUSTON) — The mother of a critically ill baby is trying to figure out where to take her child after being told by doctors at Memorial Hermann Hospital that they would stop treating her in 10 days.
The five-month-old little girl was diagnosed with leukemia just weeks after her birth. Since then, she's undergone a number of different medical treatments and contracted an infection. Doctors and her parents disagree on what should happen next.
The news that Knya Dismute-Howard's doctors believe any more medical treatment would be futile wasn't a surprise to her parents. It only strengthened their resolve
"Her mind is fully there," said the baby's mother, Tamiko Dismuke-Howard. "She knows when we are there. I can't give up because she won't give up."
Tamiko picked up a letter from Memorial Hermann Thursday night. It says simply that doctors believe all medical treatment, other than to ease Knya's pain and suffering, would be useless. Her parents have 10 days to find another hospital for Knya or her medical care will stop.

Is there any way to find out what their contact information is so that it can be given to interested parties who may be able to help?
