  • A rough week

    Tough couple if days at starship, Harley had to get an echo which we found he has a hole in his heart, so when Harley went under to get his Hickman, they had to check again on his heart, Harley a bit sore. So just another thing to be aware of and when Harley is all good probably next year they will look at fixing his hole in his heart. We all good to go for next week, just need to be super careful and not get any bugs 😷. One day at a time 🥰

  • Good News for Harley Bear

      13 June 2021

    Hi,

    Harley has had his ups and downs in the past few weeks and he has some GOOD NEWS. He went to school for the first time since he was diagnosed. He lasted half a day and later on developed a blood nose and bleeding gums. Off to Tauranga hospital for blood transfusions to fix him up (that was a late night)but the Transfusions only last a few days.

    It takes a day when he goes to hospital, blood samples take time to check a full blood count. If he gets platelets it takes time to chill them from storage and an hour for the transfusion, 3 hours for red blood cells.

    We would like to give a big shout out to the awesome nursing staff at Tauranga hospital, Starship and the rest of the country. Another big thank you to the kind people that donate blood.

    Harley looks pale & shuffles around when his blood levels are low. As soon as he receives his bloods, the colour comes back to him and he’s jumping off the hospital bed like a tick.

    GOOD NEWS, Harley has a bone marrow donor. The donor has consented to the transplant and operation dates are booked in. Harley has to maintain his health, taking his pills and medicines, his eating could be better but you can’t eat when you feel full. If procedures and logistics work out Harley will begin his treatment in 4 weeks!

    Thank you everyone for your kind and generous donations. We are at the beginning of Harley’s treatment plan, let’s hope it all goes smoothly.

    Kind regards,

    Tony, Panda and Harley.

    Overall Harley has been in good spirits, he has been in and out of hospital for blood and platlet transfusions.

    Harley hasn’t been able to go to school and misses his mates, but has had a couple of play dates.

    We went up to starship this past week and they are very positive regarding a bone marrow donor.

    Harley’s parents Tony and Panda would like to sincerely thank everyone for their amazing generosity and kind thoughts.
