Story
My 12 year old daughter Kelcey has a very rare genetic deficiency called ctps1. This deficiency in the long term has caused her some serious health problems due to this condition affecting her immune system.
In October 2016 Kelcey was diagnosed with having ctps1 deficiency and we were told that the best option for her would be to have a bone marrow transplant, without this her expectancy would be her only living until her 20's. Receiving the bone barrow transplant would give her the best possible chance of living a normal life.
Kelcey is currently undergoing chemotherapy as i write this and will undergo her bone marrow transplant on Friday 26th May 2017.
Kelcey will remain in an isolated room at Manchester childrens hospital for the next 6 / 7 weeks until her new bone marrow regenerates and her immune system strengthens.
My middle daughter Ellie is a perfect match and she's being such a brave girl and donating her bone marrow to help her big sister. ❤❤
These next few weeks / months are going to be very challenging not only mentally and physically for Kelcey going through what is a life threatening illness / treatment, but my other two daughter's Ellie and Katie will be separated from their sister Kelcey due to her being isolated due to infection reasons.
What better way than having a massive celebration party for everyone to look forward to once Kelcey is fit and well.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you for your kind donations. Love the Firth family ❤❤❤❤💙

7 years agoKelcey and I would like to thank everyone that has donated so far, you are keeping that smile on her face where it belongs 😊 An update regarding Ellie's bone marrow donation, this procured was a sucusses and they managed to extract 240ml of bone marrow which I've been told is a very good amount. Ellie is doing fine and is back to her cheeky self. 🤗 Kelcey is being so brave, she finished her chemotherapy on Wednesday last week, she had a rest day on Thursday and the bone marrow transplant happened at 15:50 on Friday.
