I LOVE TROY AIKMAN! WHAT A GUY! KEEP PRAYING FOR PRINCESS HALEY HART!

BLOG UPDATE - February 28, 2009

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Princess Haley Hart has passed.

"Princess Haley went to get her wings today. She passed away quietly with her mom and dad by her side. She had a long hard battle that she just could not fight anymore. Thank you everyone for all the support and prayers throughout this difficult time and for times to come. Princess Haley will be our little Angel in Heaven looking down on us and she will be DEEPLY MISSED.

Haley Hart is a 4 yr old little girl diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer known as Wilms' Tumor in December 2007 and has been in the hospital ever since. This hits very close to home, as her grandfather is the assistant manager at my office, CENTURY 21 Judge Fite in Mansfield, and her mother is a dispatcher for the Mansfield Fire Department.

The city of Mansfield has basically adopted this girl and has done benefit concerts, a powder-puff game at the opening of Big League Dreamsagainst the Mansfield Police Department vs. Fire Department, (MIPD, you guys were hilarious as cheerleaders!) fund raisers and even named this past Valentine's Day, "Haley Hart Day" in Mansfield. I personally wear a button her PawPaw gave me with her picture on it and people recognize the little princess everywhere I go!

Her mother posts a message in what is called "Care Pages" a few times a week to let us know the progress and setbacks this little princess has. The last week or so, it didn't look like anything else could me done for her, and at that point Doctors said that "it was in God's hands."

The last 2 posts that have been coming in from her mom say "thanks for the prayers" and they "think they are witnessing a miracle"! Obviously the reports have gotten better and little Haley Hart is miraculously recovering slowly but surely. GOD IS GOOD and prayers DO work!

IN YESTERDAYS POST, SHE MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD A SPECIAL VISITOR. HERE IS HER POST...

"OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! Princess Haley had a special visitor today. One of the PICU Dr.s came in and said we were going to be having a special guest today and he asked specifically to see Haley Hart. It was Troy Aikman. He was here in our room!!!! I was standing right next to him. Richard shook his hand and Princess Haley peacefully slept through it all. Thank you Aunt Vickie and Dr. Max!! His daughter even made Haley a picture and we hung it up and I gave him a button to give to his daughter. We later saw him in the hallway and he was wearing the button with Haley's picture on it. How cool is that?

They have a program here called Experience the Mission and different people from the community come in for the day and the Drs. take them around with them and show them what all they do and all the different equipment. We have had several other visitors too from this program come in today. I guess they just all want to show Princess Haley off to them. So it has been busy in here today with visitors. Good thing Haley is having another good day!!

They have weaned her down a little bit more on the ventilator and again they are just going to take it slow before they wean anymore, just to see how she does with everything. So far so good and they are all pleased with how good she looks.

Prayers do work!!! Miracles do happen!!! We believe!!"

WHAT A GUY!!! THANKS TROY!!!
