A “vibrant” 9-year-old girl’s life was turned on its head last week when she learned that she has a rare, potentially fatal condition that will require a bone marrow transplant to better her chances of survival. Kurk Anderson, of the Pflugerville Police Department, announced tearfully at news conference on Thursday that his daughter was told she has about a year to live if she doesn’t receive a bone marrow transplant. Camryn was then admitted to the hospital, where she was given a blood and platelet transfusion and later underwent a bone marrow biopsy. As the family grapples with accepting the young girl's condition, Kimberly also worries about the looming medical expenses. Camryn will likely be treated in Houston or Dallas, where Kimberly said more resources are available to treat aplastic anemia.
