Dialysis round 2


Halley's dialysis and transfusion are going well. The blood they are using is "Lucosite reduced" which apparently is comprised strictly of red blood cells. The white blood cells are pulled out and the blood is treated with radiation to destroy antibodies all of which should help lower the risk of infection.
The nurses and doctors have been so great. They have tried so hard to be kind to Halley but she will have nothing to do with them. She has no reservations about telling them off or kicking them out of her room. For those of you who really know Halley you will appreciate how funny that really is. She is the sweetest, kindest little girl but when it comes to nurses and doctors - watch out!

Luke wanted to type Halley these words, afterwhich, I asked him to read them to me. In Luke's very words it reads:

"Luke will take care of Halley and she will never get sick again. Go to the doctor Halley! Never get sick again Halley. I am Halley's big brother. I like Sprite. From Luke

We know that Halley is a fighter. She's going to pull out of this. You and your family are in our prayers. Let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do. I understand how hard it is to keep everyone informed and this blog saves a lot of time on the phone and keeps you free to care for Halley. Thanks for keeping us up to date because we are all worried. Call us if you need us.
