Through 1st round of dialysis



Halley is doing great this afternoon. Dialysis lasted approx 2 hours and she passed with flying colors. Her blood pressure is low (good low) and they were able to extract a moderate amount of fluid. The blood tests tomorrow will give us a better indication of how many toxins they were able to pull out.

After dialysis she had a bag of M&Ms (see picture), some ravioli, a bowl of macaroni & cheese, a can of sprite, a can of apple juice, a bag of cheetos, a cup of chocolate ice cream, a bag of animal crackers, a bag of teddy grahams and about half of my peach jamba juice. Right now she is watching season 4 of strawberry shortcake.

The doctor seemed optimistic after seeing her red blood cell go up last night. She also pee'd this afternoon which is a great sign.

Please keep her in your prayers, Joe

There is a prayer for our most precious Halley in every breathe we take. It's a constant prayer, I know we each have in our heart, that one doesn't even say Amen to because another one is already swelling up inside. We love and adore you darling, little Halley! Pretty please get better soon honey!!! Love,
Grandma and Grandpa
