Three-year-old Hampton Court Nursery School pupil Chayanne Parboo is currently a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) and is in urgent need of A+ blood which is vital for her survival.
Blood tests have found that the child has dangerously low platelet and hemoglobin counts and abnormally high levels of white blood cells. Though they have been unable to make a diagnosis yet, doctors suspect that Chayanne may have leukemia. The test required to rule out the malignant blood cancer is a biopsy, where a sample is taken from the bone marrow to determine the presence or extent of the disease.
Chayanne was first hospitalised at the Charity Hospital on December 5th and on the evening of the said date was transferred to the Suddie Hospital where she spent two days. She was then taken to the GPH on December 8th and has remained hospitalised since.
