Wee One

[MammaStar]

When I came to work this morning, I found out that my co-worker, who is also a good friend, grand-daughter was born on Friday with Leukemia. The parents, understandably, are frantic. In fact, the Mother, was not in the same hospital as her daughter for a few days. The child was airlifted from one to another.

If anyone can spare it, send some energy to the little on, they haven't named her yet (at least my co-worker hasn't told us if they did), toward Morristown, NJ, which is where the baby is at the hospital.

[Altheia]

sending it right away

[Ravens_Tears]

Of course! Energy sent..

[Danustouch]

**sends energy**

On its way.

[WtchyChick13]

Oh sweetie, you know I'm sending it! :heartthro :heartthro :heartthro

[MammaStar]

My co-worker just dropped by. The update is, the baby is getting stronger. Her platlet count is still dropping, but not as rapidly as before. The baby's name is Hayden Grace (isn't that pretty). Her parents are spending every minute at the hospital (big duh there). Hayden is also able to drink from the bottle, which the doctor's have said is a good sign that her lungs have cleared out.

If you can, please keep those candles lit. Her grandpa looked a lot let stressed today when he dropped by. There's still that dark cloud, but there's definitely a lot more hope today. :heartthro :heartthro

[Semele]

Lit and energy still flowing.

[Old Witch]

Candles lit and energy sent..........

Hayden has been moved to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC. The doctor's at the NJ hospital she was at had given her only 2 days to live. Well, her parents, grandparents and Uncle said "I don't think so" and started making some calls. A few of us at work started making calls and hitting websites to help.

Hayden's dad called a friend of a friend and now she's in Columbia. Hayden has ALL which is the WORSE leukemia a child can get. We're all pulling for her. Keep the prayers, energy and good thoughts going.

All the doctors cannot understand how her mother was able to carry her full term, normal pregnancy and still have this disease....I think the little one will beat this thing. Let's all hope I'm right.

[Semele]

This is the most common and thus most treatable form of cancer in kids.


"The improvement in survival for children with ALL over the past 35 years is one of the great success stories of cancer treatment. In the 1960s, less than 5 percent of children with ALL survived for more than five years. Today, about 85 percent of children with ALL live five years or more."

This is, incidentaly, the same form of cancer that my Uncle has been diagnosed with. The chemo took care of the cancer, but he has had trouble since then.

I am keeping this strong little girl in my thoughts and daily prayers. Please keep us informed.

[MammaStar]

In your experience Semele, how difficult is it to treat it with a newborn. Hayden will be a week old tommorrow.

[Semele]

Unfortunately I have never seen it in an infant. The few that I have seen have been diagnosed at around 4 to 5 years old. I am sure the hospital she is in has experience with little ones though. I wish I had more info for you, but I just don't have the experience to even speculate, but she will have my unending prayers. My heart aches for her parents.

[materra]

Best wishes and universal energy being sent.

[Thistle]

Candles are lit. I will keep this little one and her family in my thoughts and prayers.

[Avara]

Since being at the hospital, i know of one baby who was born with luekemia and he survived, even though it can cause alot of issues...

My thoughts are with them.....

[Toad]

Energy sent and candles lit.

[MammaStar]

I bumped into my buddy who also works with me, at the grocery store. He told me that Al (the grandpa) called to say that Hayden's MOM, Lauren, has started to hemorage. As a result, she had an operation and emergency hystorectmy.

I am happy to say, that little Hayden, is still fighting the good fight. AFTER the doctor gave her only 2 days (this was this past wednesday). The doctor's are working on a form of chemo for her to start this week.

Avara, my thoughts are with you as well. Thank you everyone for keeping the candles lit for Hayden and her family.

[Old Witch]

That's awful! More energy sent!!

[MammaStar]

Hayden is on here way home!!! She's now 8 weeks old. Her parents are getting to bring her home for the very first time today. She's not out of the clear. She's been put through an initial series of chemo and the doctors have said that she has stablized enough to go home. Her parents have to bring her back to the hospital every other day, since Hayden has now become a case study. As Semele has said, leukemia in an infant has happened, the doctors have said they've NEVER seen a child born with it.

We're just happy that Hayden has a chance to go home. Thrilled that she's now 8 weeks old when the doctors said she would make it a week.

Keep that good energy flowing to her. It's helping!!! (well, that and medical science ;) )

[Semele]

She will continue to be in my prayers.

[LadyOak]

I'll light a candle for her...

[Ravens_Tears]

Definately keeping them all in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much for keeping us updated Sug

[Faery-Wings]

What good news!

I am sending energy to her so that she may continue to recover and grow stronger.

[AutumnRose_43725]

Energy on its way to little Hayden for healing, along with prayers for her family........

[MammaStar]

I am deeply saddened to let you all know that little Hayden has passed on to the Summerlands. She passed on about an hour ago. Her grandfather (my co-worker) called us to let us know.

Thank you all for your prayers, warm wishes and energies for Hayden. Her family and all of us here at my job all thought that she could beat this disease, but her little body couldn't fight anymore.

I ask that you all send healing energies to her parents, especially her mother who, as expected is truly devestated.

Thanks again everyone. :heartthro

[Hoot]

For Hayden Grace, may she be rocked in the loving embrace of the Goddess and find rest after her long fight. Energy for healing the broken hearts of little Hayden Grace's loved ones. May their grief bind them in deeper love for one another and lead them to wisdom.

[WtchyChick13]

:( I'm so sorry. Poor thing. May she cross gently and may her family always carry her in their hearts. :hugz:

[EmilyFair]

On it's way.

[Prizm]

All the energy I can give this situation is on its way. May all children be blessed as they are innocent and may they be healed as well. Prayers of peace for the family.

[Gareth]

I can only imagine the pain of losing a child.
It is something I hope that I never have to go through.
Energy being sent.

[DixieWitch]

Sending positive thoughts and healing energy.

I only read the beginning of this post before I carved Hayden's name on a candle on one side and "for perfect health" on the other. The candle is burning now and will remain burning until it is gone. Perhaps it will help light her way and let her know that there are even people who didn't know her who cared for her.

I hope the poem/prayer that I am about to post will not be inappropriate. It's not the first time I've shared it. And it gave me a lot of comfort when my dad crossed over earlier this year. I've always thought it beautiful. I found it some years ago at a powwow. It goes like this...

I Am Not Here


Don't stand by my grave and weep

For I'm not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamonds glint on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumn's rain


When you awaken in morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circle flight

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there, I did not die.

May your friends find peace in the knowledge that Hayden is in the hands of Spirit.

With love and healing light ...

[FeatherGoblinglimmer]

Healing energy sent to all grievng to mend their hearts. She is in the arms of the Goddess now, may she be forever happy and peaceful.

[Semele]

*tears*

I am sorry to hear that she is gone and my heart goes out to her parents. May they continue to feel her warmth next to them forever.

I know that Hayden is healthy now and with many friends who welcome her with open arms. Even though her own Mom and Dad can't be with her just now, she is being loved. I know that my uncle Jack who passed in June from this same horrible disease is near her to give her the hugs her parents can't.

[Old Witch]

Energy sent to the parents a grandparents of Hayden Grace......And I'm sure grace was granted to this sweet innocent........

May Hayden be gently cradled in the loving and protective arms of our Mother, and may her Mum be comforted in the knowledge that her daughter is safe and at peace. I'm constantly sending love, healing, calming and positive thoughts/energy for them all. )0(
