Post 123: 2nd Update on Hailie

I'm sharing with you a conversation I had via Instant Messenger with my sister about an hour ago. Please continue to keep them in your prayers. More tests are needed to be done, and some of the results are still not in. If you feel led to email her a thought or prayer please do, just remember to put "Prayers for Hailie" in the subject line. Thank you so much!

Holly Branum: Doctor called

Tonya VanWinkle: AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holly Branum: He said that not all the results are in. However Hailie's Liver enzymes are up and more blood work is requested. They are concerned with taking more blood today. Since they took so much blood the other day. They also said that her urine test is in and she is dehydrated. He said this is due to the reoccurring High Fever for longer then 3 day's at a time. He said unless the rest of the test that they are waiting on, show immediate concern. Then they will wait for the Strep to clear before rerunning the liver test. He said I would need to consult with a Primary physician and they would fax the results to them and we would go from there. So right now I am working on finding a doctor for Hailie. I am at home and I am going to get Hailie

Tonya VanWinkle: is the dr. that called the one you saw the other day? I knew that baby needed IV fluids

Holly Branum: The ER doctor is the one that called

Tonya VanWinkle: Oh, I see. Hey get some pedialite from walmart and make her drink that - it will help rehydrate her

Holly Branum: I got another number for doctor and turns out that doctor is in same building and office as the one I had been taking her too.

Tonya VanWinkle: have u talked to mom

Holly Branum: Yes. I had to ask her was Liver enzymes were. She asked a doctor there.

Tonya VanWinkle: and

Holly Branum: She said it can a number of things. The liver effects the blood. So infection to diseases.

Tonya VanWinkle: is what i thought

Holly Branum: Leukemia is cancer. This type of cancer flows through the blood. That is why it is in the entire body. The blood effects the liver

Tonya VanWinkle: right

Holly Branum: Some how all of that goes together

Tonya VanWinkle: yes i know

Holly Branum: All I can say is this isn't happening

Tonya VanWinkle: maybe it's something else, we can still hope, still pray and you better believe we will, do want me to call you?

Holly Branum: I got to go get Hailie, I will just talk to you later. I am waiting on some phone calls right now. thanks though and thanks for the prayer's, don't give up on us.

As you can tell my sister is very distraught and desperately needs your prayers. Please continue to lift them up. I feel very helpless all the way over here in England; I'm not there to hold Holly's hand, or watch Hailie so she can rest, or to even go to the Dr.'s with her. So please help me keep them uplifted in prayers. I know there is power in prayer and like my sister, all I can say is "this isn't happening!" We do not have the final word yet and until all the tests are in, that's exactly what I'm going to believe - this IS NOT HAPPENING, not to Hailie...it just can't be. Maybe that's the wrong way to believe, but right now that is what my family and I are all holding on to.
