Hi, I am Markell and I am 9 years old. I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia on March 31, 2004. I received treatment at Childrens of the Kings Daughters Hospital to replenish all my blood cells and then I was transferred to Duke University Children's Hospital where my brother Michael Jr would donate to me his matched marrow cells. The transplant consisted of four days of strong chemo and six days of ATG ( immune system supressor) and on April 22nd I received my "new chance at life" my brother's cells. All of this was not without some complications. I started having high blood pressure and bleeding around the brain. I had several spinal taps all of which released the fluid around my brain and made me better. My parents and I prayed and prayed and God has brought me through many scary times. I am doing better. My transplant "PRAISE GOD" was a success!!!! Thank you to my brother Michael Jr and to my loving parents for all that you have done.
