It
was a rough night. We need prayers and B- blood. Haylie was in need of
platelets and blood last night, but unfortunately the B- supply is
extremely low and they could only get one unit of platelets that finally
arrived at 2:00am. They have been trying to locate more platelets
because she can’t have her spinal tap and chemo treatment today until
they are able to get her platelets and hemoglobin up. They finally got
some blood for her and she is currently getting the transfusion right now. Please pray there are no complications or reactions.
We
just found out that there are NO B- platelets. I’m being asked to sign a
consent to give her another blood type of platelets because she needs
the platelets to have the spinal tap and chemo treatment. Doctor said
the treatment is more important. Please pray everything goes well.
She
will have a spinal tap in her room at noon without anesthesia. Please
pray that goes smoothly as well. They couldn’t get an OR for the
anesthesia until after lunch and they didn’t know if they would have the
blood so this gave us more flexibility and she could eat. Chicken
express for breakfast today.
We have a
big request. If anyone is B-, please consider donating soon. It is very
rare and the blood supply is very very short right now. She will be
needing more transfusions and not having blood or platelets to give her
is scary. I wish I was B- so I could donate, but I’m not. Everything
about Haylie is special, including her blood. Thank you for the prayers.
We are finding out that it takes 2 days to process the blood. She
should be ok for a few days but will likely need another transfusion by
next Friday. I will try and find out more info on how the process works
and keep everyone updated. Even if Haylie doesn’t get the blood,
donating can help save some other persons life too.
For I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
