We praise the Lord that Baby Halston's lab results came back this week with very positive results. Her platelets and hemoglobin have continued to climb. Her creatinine, which shows her kidney function, is now below the lower limits, which is good. She will have further infusions in the weeks ahead as part of the treatment for atypical HUS. Pray that God will intervene with complete healing.
Baby Halston was released from the hospital last week. She had been in and out of the hospital since the middle of Dec with kidney problems, high blood pressure, and low hemoglobin count which led the doctors to diagnose her with atypical HUS (aHUS) an extremely rare and serious genetic disease. There are only about 2 in 1 million people with this disease in the US and they had never seen this in a baby.
Baby Halston's parents are Bryan and Jen Rich, her big brother is Brooks, and her grandparents are Dwight and Carolyn Rich former missionaries to Ecuador. Her Aunt and Uncle are Aaron and Stefanie Phelps who have 2 boys. |
