The Trebing Family from Long Island was here to discuss their daughter Katie's rare disease Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA). Katie underwent a bone marrow transplant at the young age of three with the help from her little brother. But this was no accident. The book The Match: Savior Sibling and One Family's Battle to Heal Their Daughter by Beth Whitehouse, chronicles their long journey.
