FOR most children, Christmas means scoffing more sweets and chocolates than at any other time of the year.
So imagine how difficult it was for four?year?old Chelsey Buckingham to have that privilege taken away from her last festive period.
Last December, the youngster caught a cold and chest infection that seemed to refuse to go away. Her mother, Joanne, became concerned when her daughter had lost weight, was fatigued and complaining she could not walk very far.
The extent of her illness became apparent when she appeared in her school Christmas show, and it was clear Chelsey was not herself.
