The Journey Begins


Hello everybody. You probably know who I am. My name is Hayley. I am a huge Billy Idol fan.I am nine years old. A few days from now, I will go to the hospital at Shriner's. I am having a surgery called halo traction. I will be in the hospital for three months, but I will still keep you posted.

LOVE
Hayley

P.S. To your right you will see me with my physical therapist having therapy

You sound like a brave soul in a little girls body. 3 months is a long time to be stuck in a hospital, but in the long run, the gift waiting at the end is one worth getting. I wish you good luck, great spirits, and I'll say a prayer for a healty recovery.

Good morning Hayley :)

Just watched your video talking about "rocking on" for the Billy Idol concert. You remind me of my daughter when she was your age.

You are so very brave. Many, myself included, should have the courage you do. You should be proud of yourself. I know I am.

I hope you post your address at the hospital when you find out your room number. I would like to send you a card.

See ya little angel... :)

Hi Hayley, I am Billy's little sister Jane. I am going to pass everything onto my Mum cause she doesn't have a web link at the moment. I have a little girl called Naomi and she is 5. She loves Billy too. She will send you a message too. I can see that you are very famous too because you are so sweet and brave. So you take care. With much love Jane

Hayley,
What an adventure you are getting ready to experience! It's so wonderful that the doctors and nurses can help fix things that are wrong in ways that they could never do before. Parts of it may not be fun but it will be WORTH it.

Thoughts of you and your Mom, as well as Daddy, Zach, and Savannah will be in our hearts while you are gone. We love you all.

Hi Hayley! We're thinking about you all the time. The aquarium sounded wonderful! We LOVE aquariums! The snowman on the deck that you & Sami & Victoria made has FINALLY disappeared. By the way, my mom had a g-tube like you'll be getting Thursday, and she had no pain or discomfort from it----and she even had it for a few months. So don't worry about that. Jeff talked with your dad Saturday. We'll be keeping in touch with him. I plan to send him a few cooked dinners while you're gone. We sure do miss you, kid! Tell your mom 'hello' for me.
Love,
Lisa

Hello Lil' Diva,
Grandma Julie & I are so excited to hear that everything went well today!!! Aunt Laura has been keeping us posted with updates. Sorry it took a little longer than we thought, but the main thing is that it all went great!
Laura called us right after seeing you in recovery & said that you were very alert. That's Great! We are so happy, and look forward to seeing you before too long.
We Love You Sooooooo Much!!
& so do the Babies,
Grandpa & Grandma Julie

Dear Hayley,

I can't wait to talk to G to hear in person all about your room and your traction bed and how it works.
Hope she will fill us in on all the details.

Sounds to me like you have the courage of a lion, doing everything you have to do even if it hurts. You know what they say (even though I don't like it) "no pain, no gain". Wait, I think that's for exercising! But with your pain, you are sure to have great results.

Have they been bringing you delicious hospital meals, or is that yet to come?

Hope you won at Bingo today. I played last Friday and won three prizes.

Keep on truckin'.

Lots of hugs and kisses from Aunt Judy and Uncle Drew

Hi Hayley,
I work for your dad, he's the coolest boss in the world! He told me what a strong girl you are. Hang in there, you'll be better soon, we'll be praying for you. My 3 year old son is just like you, very strong, he had 6 surgeries in his stomach and he's getting better. We know what you are going through that's why we're all very proud of you!!!
