Fox News: Charity Offers to Pay for 7 Year Old’s Lifesaving Treatment; Drug Maker Still Refuses: UPDATED

On Tuesday I posted a story about the drug company, Chimerix’s, refusal to supply a life-saving drug to a dying boy. Here’s an update from Fox News.

Family and supporters of a 7-year-old boy dying from a rare bone marrow disorder were ecstatic Wednesday, after a drug company reversed its decision to deny him an experimental medicine that could save his life.

“We’re just looking forward to the great success of the drug and the great success of the company to help other people, just tremendously excited,” Aimee Hardy, mother of Josh Hardy, of Fredericksburg, Va., told Fox & Friends Wednesday morning. “As hard as we were as a group on the company, we’re going to push Josh to continue to do his best so that he can make that full recovery.”

Read it all and good for them. May God use this to heal the little guy.
