oh *boo-hoo* oh *sob* you have got to read this blog post.I was in my pride time class in school when the teacher told us to choose a current science magazine.so I started to read the boring articles, when I got to a story that caught my interest.I was called "kyle EB".I started to read the article and I was amazed.The kid in the article was named Kyle Hicks and he has a rare inherited disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).this disease causes your body to not be able to produce the protein your body needs to keep the epidermis and the dermis (the top layer of your skin and the lower layer of your skin) together.because of this the top layer of his skin blisters like a two degree burn at the slightest touch. this also causes scar tissue to build up and fuse his fingers and toes together so nearly every summer he must have surgery to defuse his fingers.this disease also causes scar tissue to build up on the inside of the throat and the stomach which prevents his body from absorbing the nutrients his body needs to grow so he is 18 and is only about four feet and weighs only about 51 pounds.I also found out that the surgery to cure EB is $500.000. what they do is they have a bone marrow transplant and they found " PERFECT DONOR" they just need the money. I got to read only a little bit until I had to go to lunch so the minute I got home I started looking up Kyle Hicks and Epidermolysis Bullosa on my computer.After a while I found a site about Kyle Hicks and on this site he has a blog and photos.the site is http://www.cotaforkyleh.com/. The site is also taking donations to help Kyle pay for his operation.I will be uploading a video about Kyle and EB. I will post once I find something worthy to be blogged about. And remember,Kyle needs your help.
