Bone marrow from China to help a child in US
"She gets paler. She runs out of steam," Owen Wells said. Her inability to produce healthy blood has left her unable to fight off infections. Doctors have been giving her transfusions of platelets, but the transfusions are need much more often than before -- every seven to 10 days compared to once every month or two. In January, Kailee went through a bone marrow transplant that failed, but this time, the donor is a perfect match, doctors say. Kailee will remain in the hospital four to six weeks following the five-hour procedure. If successful, the transplant will mean she can have a typical childhood, Owen Wells said. "She won't get tired and worn out," he said. "She'll be able to live a long and normal life."
