But the news since has been less happy —_ flulike illness, graft-vs.- host disease and a stomach. ulcer that keeps him from eating, Despite the reversals, the sixth-grader is showing the same pluck he displayed during 12 years confined to a sanitized plastic prison, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday. . “avidis in good spirits,” wwu Susannah — Griffin, spokesman for Baylor College of Medicine. . “He's joking with his nurses. He’s helping the doctors in his treatment.” David, whose last -name has never been disclosed, was born without immunity to disease, and until Feb. 7 had spent his life inside a ‘series of sterile room-size plastic bubbles. In October, he underwent ‘a bone marrow transplant with marrow from his sister Katherine. When he became ill for the first .time last week, suffering from fiu- like. symptoms, doctors allowed him to leave the bubble so- he could be treated, - By Tuesday the com: bination of the ‘newly diagnosed stomach ulcer, along with vomiting and diarrhea, had left David in “serious but stable” con- dition, the spokesman said.
