This is Lucy Bell Latta, our niece. She is pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen but unfortunately her health is not that good. She was diagnosed with SCID, or "the boy in the bubble" disease, which is a disease in which she has absolutely no immune system and she is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Fortunately her older sister, 4 year old Lilly is a 100% match, which is hear is rare. So they are keeping Lucy in isolation so she won't get sick so the transplant can do it's job.
You need to check out this website that was made for her (i believe it is still under construction) but it has pictures and more information about the disease. I do warn you though, these pictures are hard to look at. But please, do read it and pass it on to any one, or everyone you know.
