“Now we have a diagnosis we have to do something to help. There are so many other kids out there who need a match, so we are sharing our experience for Ronnie and to educate people about the lifesaving potential of stem cell transplants.”
Baby Ronnie turned one last weekend, but is already facing one of the toughest situations anyone should have to face.
Having been diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia, a rare bone marrow disorder, Ronnie is now in need of a stem cell transplant as his best chance of survival.
His family are now calling on anyone eligible to join the stem cell register, and give someone just like their little boy another chance of life.
Ronnie’s mum Laura started to notice that Ronnie was bruising a lot, which she put down to him becoming more mobile. “He had only just started crawling, then three days later when I got him up, he had blood coming from his nose, blisters in his mouth, and red dots on his body.”
The family rushed baby Ronnie to Arrowe Park Hospital where doctors mentioned numerous potential conditions, until more tests revealed he had severe aplastic anaemia.
Now, Ronnie is in and out of hospital, receiving blood infusions twice a week and injections to stimulate bone marrow production, whilst he and his family wait for news of a matching donor.
“We’re sharing Ronnie’s story because we want people to get tested, if a match comes up for him then great, but a match for someone else, that’s amazing as well. Our aim is to raise awareness of aplastic anaemia; no one’s heard of it. And we want to raise awareness of the stem cell register too; how easy it is to join and how simple it is to donate your stem cells and save a life.”
💚 If you’re aged 16-30, you could be that lifesaving match someone like Ronnie is waiting for. Sign up today: https://bit.ly/4tmc8g2
