Story
Name
Marcus Tolbert
Injury/Illness
Chronic interstitial lung disease
Marcus was first diagnosed at age 1 with a incurable interstitial lung disease (surfactant deficiency). Marcus is 8 now and we have came across our biggest bump in the road. With Marcus struggling to keep his lungs stabilized and running out of options for bandages, the call to Texas Children's has been made and will start to seek out a new set of lungs for Marcus. The road will never end but one day we could have a son breathing on his own free from an oxygen tank and living a much more quality lifestyle.
