The youth joins Rachel Esca-

who underwent a bone marrow
transplant at the hospital Tues
day. Doctors said Friday she also
was doing well.
Rachel suffers from neurob
lastoma, a usually fatal cancer
affecting nervous tissue. She
had been given a 50-50 chance
of living a normal life.

Heussner said the other
beds in the 12-bed marrow
transplant unit are currently fil
led, and several patients who
already have been evaluated are
awaiting admission to the hos
pital.
Some 73 bone-marrow trans
plants were completed at the
university hospital last year.
Since 1974, the facility has done
270 such procedures.

SAN DIEGO — A third Cali
fornia condor egg has been
taken from a nest and placed in
the San Diego Zoo because
biologists feared its squabbling
parents would smash it.
Noel Snyder, head biologist
for the California condor recov
ery team, abducted the egg
when its parents started fighting
and crowding the fragile egg in
their nest in the mountains of
the condor country north of Los
Angeles.
“They were jostling the egg,
and Snyder decided it was an
emergency situation,” zoo
spokesman Jeff Jouette said
Friday.
“We believe the egg is OK,
but there is some concern for its
viability because the male and
female were fighting, and the
male wouldn’t let the female sit
on the egg. It went four hours
without being covered by either
parent today, and that could be
dangerous for the egg,” Jouette
said.
