Hayley’s Total Pancreactomy & Auto Islet Transplant (TP/AIT) Surgery

Here are some Videos from Hayley’s Pancreactomy & Auto Islet Transplant May 31, 2013. Performed by Dr. James Shapiro at Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton Alberta. It was a 13 hour surgery (see photo gallery). Hayley handled it like she does everything else in her life…with CLASS & FIGHT!! Hayley went through many painful and long procedures like the trooper she is.

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...
