Well I figured its been a while I should probably get on here and post an update. Its been a crazy month that just flew by and I've been dealing with my sick kids so its been hard for me to get much done lately.
It was nice the month flew by so quickly because now we are only ONE week away from our next scheduled transfer. YAY!! I have been doing my Delestrogen Shots for 2 weeks now. And will be starting the other big shot, which is the progesterone, this weekend. I'm feeling really good, no bruises or lumps from the shots yet :) I also had my usual weekly drs appt today for my blood draw and lining check. Everything looked great!!
I pray daily that we will get some good news next friday. There are 15 frozen embryos and the Drs will be taking them out to thaw this next week. And hopefully we have a few matches for Hailey.
So thats basically all thats going on right now. Which is why I haven't updated in awhile. :) But I wanted to come on and send a BIG thank you for the donations we've received since our last update. I will list them below :) Thank you so much again for everything you all do for us. You are all amazing!! :)
Previous blog entries donations total $575.51
LL (Scentsy Fundraiser) $51.17
LE $100
CC (Fundraiser) $134 (4.19)
So the current total of donations is $856.49
YAY!! Thank you so much for taking the time to read about Hailey, pray for her and her family and to help with this amazing cause.
I will for sure be updating in the next week as we find out more about the embryos. I hope we are able to bring you all great news!

Go to Disneyworld & Benefit Hailey!!!
Some amazing people have had this offer available and I wanted to post it here so we can hopefully generate some bookings which means donations for Haileys fund!!!
They have a 3 bedroom 3 bath home with a pool just 2.7 miles from Disney World that they rent out regularly. They are offering a portion of the proceeds to go to Hailey...Here is the information....Please keep in mind this is for Florida's Disney not California :)
"For anyone interested in a Disney vacation, if you rent our home, you will get a nightly rate of $85 a night ($95 during very peak seasons, like Easter) and 20% of the proceeds will go directly to Hailey Kent. You can email me directly at info@mickeysmagicalmanor.com if you have any questions. Please feel free to post this offer on FB, and pass it along to your friends & family. I will extend this offer to anyone who tells me they are booking for Hailey. Visit www.mickeysmagicalmanor.com for pictures & more details of the home!
Also, we have a home in Sarasota, FL that we rent out (by the month). It's booked for next February-April, but if you guys have parents/inlaws who go South for the Winter, it is available October through the end of January. I would gladly give the Kent's 20% of that booking as well! You can email me at the same email address if you are interested." You can view the house here
A BIG Thank you for this amazing offer!! I know that there are people who have taken advantage of booking this home and we thank you for helping Hailey!! You can become a fan of Mickey's Magical Manor on Facebook here
I also wanted to take a few to thank some people I haven't thanked on here yet and I'm very sorry I haven't. For those who have sent us "packages" we are so greatful for your help! And I'd like to say a big thank you to the lovely woman from our surrogate message board who generously sent me 2 boxes of maternity clothes (super cute too). We are so very thankful for each and every person how ever you can help, big or small.
Since my last update we have one more donation to add to the list. THANK YOU!!
Last entry total $430.16

Update for 9/7/10
Hello everyone,
Hope you had a great long holiday weekend. I finally have some new updates to post so here I am. :)
The partial match we mentioned in the previous update was not enough of a match to Hailey to help her according to the drs. So we are moving forward praying there is at least 1 great match, hopefully more, in the frozen embryos. I am back on track for getting ready to transfer. I saw our awesome Dr this morning and things are looking great. We set a date to transfer and that will be October 8th. Of course this is all based on finding matches in those frozen embryos. So next week I'll begin the injections again to prepare my body. :)
I have a few updates on the fundraising
previous total $210.16
TA- $20
DMM- $200
Current Total $430.16
Thank you so much for all your continued thoughts, prayers and donations. We appreciate everything!! Just a note for those who don't understand what the fundraising goes to and to answer a few questions I have heard from others..... The funds that we raise will go towards medical bills and expenses between cycling/transfer and hopefully a nice long 9 month pregnancy. The money goes into an account so that these bills can be paid. The Kents have a lot of bills from Haileys treatments which is why they needed a non-compensated surrogate. We do have some great people volunteering lots of different services (ex: lawyers, drs) but it is still an expensive process.
I've been told recently I'm an angel for doing this. But I don't think I am an angel.....I think I am a mother and a human being who would do anything possible to help the Kents because god forbid it was my child who was sick. I would pray there was someone out there who would jump at the chance to help potentially save my childs life.
This last weekend I was messing around on this website online and I thought I would try to make a new video/pic montage showing part of Hailey's story. I found a song that just put me into a river of tears and it just fits Hailey so well because she is so amazing. Amazing in her strength that she is showing. So I finished the slideshow and I will be attempting to post it here. I'm still new to this blogging so hopefully I can get it on here. Otherwise I will just post a link to it. I hope we can use this video to spread the word to your friends and family to see if we can get more help for Hailey. Whether you can donate financially or you get yourself registered with the National Bone Marrow registry you are taking steps foward to help Hailey. And we appreciate everything you all do to help. There was so much more I wanted to put in the video but the song has a limit and I could go on for hours with it. I had to stop somewhere :)
A lot of you may be just seeing this blog for the first time and don't know Hailey's story but I know there are alot of you that do know her story. I just wanted to say to all of you, thank you. Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day to learn about this beautiful little girl.
