Sweet Hailey

Once again, I am asking for your prayers for sweet Hailey.  She has had a tough past week and her family received more heart breaking news yesterday.  With the regrowth of the tumor, she was to return to Jacksonville, Florida for the special proton beam radiation.  This is not the norm with an AT/RT relapse, however her body's response to previous treatments convinced her doctor that it was worth another treatment although she wasn't sure of the effectiveness or end results.  Hailey has beat the odds and the doctors believe in her fight; they weren't giving up on her just yet.

Last weekend her vomiting became more frequent and she became dehydrated.  They hospitalized her over the weekend and she is still there as her digestive system isn't working correctly.  They (the doctors) were still planning to send her to Jacksonville, although Shauna wasn't so sure it was the right thing.  Before sending her they needed a recent MRI so they performed one yesterday.  The results they received were so sad and unexpected.

The MRI revealed significant growth in the initial tumor, in addition to new growths.  Jacksonville is "off" and the plan to move forward is unclear at this time.  Her last posting indicated they were waiting to hear from her doctor. 

It isn't good.

And it is sad.

She indicated that she could see the light at the end of this dark, dark tunnel. 

Our hearts are breaking for them.

Will you please pray for them?

And if you know others who will pray, will you please pass this along?

I will keep you updated.

You can visit Hailey at her CaringBridge Site.  I would like for you to notice the numbers of visitors. :) So many are loving them and praying for them...

Here is a sweet picture of her right before her last surgery.

Isn't she a doll?
