How is Tarrell doing? People ask us that very regularly. Well tonight, we have an update on the 4 year old who captured all our hearts with his courageous fight against ichthyosis - the skin disorder.
It was his birthday yesterday and his mom told us via phone from Texas that he had a blast.

"They had some of the staff from the Ronald Macdonald House who decided to have a birthday party for him on Sunday and it made Tarrell very, very happy and made him feel for once like he's home."

"And how is his health?"
Nicole McDougal
"Three days after he got back to Texas, Tarell just made a great improvement and he is walking much better. All of last week and this week, he is still doing hydro-therapy treatment and yesterday they started physical therapy along with hydro therapy. We're gonna stay for the whole of May and make that Tarell is in a comfortable position. You know we have to pay for every night that we're here and there has been a lot of people who assisted us in some way here but then we have our personal needs and other things that we have to buy and stuff. And then we have Tarell's medication which in I know that we had gotten a money from the public before but then we're actually already running out of money, and of course it;s hard for us to fundraise here, because we don't really live here. But maybe we'll just ask for if people could just give us a small assistance once again just for the next month that we're here."
