Monday night

Today Halley had a pretty good day. There were no procedures so she was eating, getting up, and playing. She really wants to step outside of this room, but they won't allow it yet. She was able to eat pretty well and keep everything down. I'm glad she did not have to have a feeding tube inserted, for her comfort. She is very wary of anything connected or bandaged on her. She even has a really hard time every time they take her temperature or blood pressure, or anything else. We are still praying her kidneys will kick in. Tomorrow is a definite dialysis day, and labs will tell us in the morning if there is anything else. Tonight they are worried about the fluid overload in her body, and hoping that does not cause a secondary infection. I'm hoping she can get a good night sleep amidst all the hospital interruptions. Thank you for all your prayers. Love, Celeste

When we lived by you guys on 36th street Willy accidently shut Little Joe Joe's fingers in the inside of the door. The next day it happened again. Little Joe lost two of his fingernails, he was just one year old. I can still see his face and remember how much pain he was in. I lost it when it happened the second time, I loved that little kid so much. It was probably the most disturbing experience of my life. I can only imagine how hard this is for Halley and for you as her parents. We love you guys and will keep praying for Halley.

We're so glad to hear our little Halley had a pretty good day today. We're so grateful she didn't need to have a feeding tube today too. We can only imagine how frustrated she must be feeling with all this poking and proding. Our prayers continually are with each of you. It's so difficult and heart breaking to watch your little family go through this. We love you!!!
