PFLUGERVILLE, Texas —  What was supposed to be routine blood work turned into a nightmare for one Pflugerville family.

Now, the clock is ticking for them to find a bone marrow donor match for their daughter.

Nine-year-old Camryn Anderson was just diagnosed with a rare condition called aplastic anemia last week. It’s a rare condition in which the body doesn't make enough blood cells.

Her parents, Pflugerville police Sgt. Kirk Anderson and his wife Kimberly, say her health concerns started with frequent nosebleeds, then some unexplained bruising that never went away. Camryn saw a doctor who recommended a blood test. Her parents knew from the urgent call the next day that it was something serious.

"All I remember him saying is, 'I'm on my way to get Camryn.’,” Kimberley Anderson said. “'We have to be at the oncologist in two hours. She is not safe at school.'"

"The only hope for her is that we find a match, a bone marrow match," Kirk Anderson said.

Doctors say Camryn only has about a year left without a bone marrow donor. Until she finds one, she's forced to stay home at all times because even a common cold could be detrimental to her health.

"I sit home every day with her and just try to keep her active," Kimberley Anderson said. 

The Anderson family hopes Camryn's story inspires people to come forward to get their marrow tested in the hopes of saving Camryn's life.

Only 2 percent of the U.S. population is registered in the national bone marrow registry. The Anderson family says Camryn's brother has been tested to see if he is a match, and those tests should come back in two weeks.
