Update on Haylie...

ANOTHER UPDATE!! Haylie made it home last weekend, she's so happy to be home - and we are happy she's home, too! :) She's feeling much better - thank you everyone for all the prayers!
--------------------------------------------
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE...since I posted this update this afternoon, guess they still aren't positive WHAT is keeping Haylie there. She's still at Walter Reed, and might not be Parvovirus like previously thought??? She's a medical mystery!
--------------------------------------------
Whew - with EVERYTHING this girl has been through, another bump in the road for her! This time it was just (well, not JUST, but not a serious thing is what I mean) a virus. PARVOVIRUS to be exact. Not the canine form - the pediatric form. Looks like she'll be home today...she's ready to get outta there! I found this at mayoclinic.com:

Doctors today refer to it as parvovirus infection or erythema infectiosum. Some people may call it slapped-cheek disease because of the face rash that develops resembling slap marks. Parvovirus infection is also commonly called fifth disease because it was fifth of a group of once-common childhood diseases with similar rashes. The other four are measles, rubella, scarlet fever and Dukes' disease.
Whatever the name, parvovirus infection is still a common but mild infection in children that generally requires little treatment. However, parvovirus infection in some pregnant women can lead to serious health problems for the fetus. Parvovirus infection is also more serious for people with certain anemias or with a compromised immune system.
