Update on Haylie - June 10
God is so good! He truly is in control and provides for our needs. I just got a call from the marketing director at Gateway church who is in charge of the church’s summer blood drive. They are announcing Haylie’s need for B- blood at the Dallas campus this morning where the blood drive is taking place today. Gateway is also having people use Haylie’s sponsor number so that she receives the credit for the blood. This mama’s heart is so blessed to have confidence that B- blood and platelets should be available to her when the need might arise for another transfusion. Thank you Jesus!
I just spoke with the doctors on their rounds this morning. Haylie’s white blood cell count is now at 2,900 down from 3,600 yesterday. We get closer to the 0 level every day! Normally 0 is a very bad thing, but this is the way they kill all the cancer cells. We are praying her bone marrow recovers extra quickly and starts to produce new healthy cells in the next few weeks.
Her hemoglobin is at 10.2 and platelets are at 72 which is great for her. The doctor said she estimates that Haylie will probably be needing another transfusion in the next few days as those platelets begin to die off. This is totally normal and the doctors are on top of it. Again it gives me peace knowing that so many people have been donating in Haylie’s honor so there should be an available supply of blood this week for Haylie and whoever else may need it.
We did hit a small bump in the road this morning that we are asking for prayer. We have been quarantined so we aren’t allowed to leave the room until test results come back. She has had a really bad stomach ache and doctors want to make sure it’s not an infection. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to watch Brennen’s baseball games today, but I’m getting updated from Michael via text and game changer.
Yesterday was a really good day. Haylie had more energy and made it to the playroom twice. My sister came and sat with Haylie so I could go to Brennen’s baseball game. It’s been hard on him because we haven’t been able to go to many, if any of his events. I really appreciate all the people who are stepping in and looking after him. A huge thank you to my amazing sister, Stephanie, and Jared and Jamie King for constantly picking him up and getting him to the places he needs to be. After the game I made it home for the first time since I drove Haylie to the ER. It is amazing how much junk mail we get and how quickly it accumulates. I was able to get bills paid and get more clothes and needed items for Haylie and I.
It really was so good to get out of the hospital for a bit. People kept saying I needed to get out but I knew Haylie needed me here, too. I have to say, the first step out was the hardest. I stood at the front doors and almost didn’t go. I’m thankful for my sister who said I didn’t have a choice and I was going. I needed it more than I even knew. Haylie was great, too, she said I had to go because I finally had a chance to get out of the hospital. She said she wanted to get out so bad and if I had the chance to go I had to take it.
Once again this post has taken me several hours to write with the constant interruptions so I have updates to the update.
😜
Doctors just came back in with test results and Haylie does not have an infection so we are no longer on quarantine!!! Praise God, neither of us were allowed to leave the room. We can now have visitors again, too.
I also got a text from a pastor at Gateway who was sitting with a guy that was B- and he was donating for Haylie, as well. We are so blessed. God is our provider and we should not fear. He provided manna in the desert for the Israelites, I know He can also provide B- blood for Haylie.
Here are a few prayers requests we are asking:
1) Pray for Haylie’s tummy. It has been hurting her pretty badly for several days now. That is actually why they put us on quarantine because they thought it was an infection.
2) Please pray for Haylie’s headaches and back pain to go away. It was pretty severe last night. It has been hurting ever since her spinal tap.
3) Continued prayer for peace, strength and healing.
4) For God to be glorified in all of this.
Thank you all!
