Day 2

Hayley was up most of the night. She is a little more coherent today but not much. She is pretty helpless and needs to be assisted in rolling from side to side. A lot of PAIN!!! Through it all they say she will be up out of bed within a few days. She wanted to get out of bed today so doctors said to try. What a trooper a real hero if you ask me!! She is a fighter that’s for sure.

Her Total Pancreactomy & Auto Islet Transplant (TP/AIT) surgery left behind a scar approximately 13”inches long.

First attempt to get out of bed!

At least she sad Hi!

This is a radio interview done with CBC Radio Edmonton from the Alberta Stollery Children's Hospital May 31st, 2013. The interview was done one month after her 13 hour (TP/IAT) Total Pancreactomy & Auto Islet Transplant. By this time Hayley should have had a lot less pain than she was experiencing but we were remaining optimistic. Hayley had opportunity to do both radio and TV interviews to talk about being the 2nd child in Canada to undergo this type of rare surgery and also bring raise awareness to the wrath of Chronic Pancreatitis and the TP/IAT procedure. Hayley chose not to do any further interviews to support the surgery because she already knew in her heart that the surgery was NOT doing what it was supposed to. The surgery was done with almost no pre-testing. Looking back I am now wondering what did the doctor base his positive comment on? His words were that he was 99.9% sure that the surgery was going to help Hayley's pain considerably and maybe even stop it altogether! Never did he say it could make it worse...
