Austyn Halter

On August 17, 2015 Austyn Halter was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia AML-M7. She was treated at Texas Children's for 9 months and after the 6th round of chemo, she failed to reach remission. In May, her family was given news that her leukemia had actually gotten worse. On may 15th, she was flown to st. Jude children's research hospital & testing began. After 2 weeks of testing, her parents were told that Austyn was eligible for the HAP-NK1 transplant research study, and her mom was going to able to be her donor. Her family celebrated her "new birthday" (first day of Mommy's stem cell transfusion) June 9th, 2016. Austyn has had a rough couple of weeks but is getting stronger everyday! She is DAY +13 post transplant today,and we received the exciting results that Austyn's Chimerism in her blood shows 99.83% Of Mommy's cells! St. Jude is the only hospital that offers this study, and Austyn was the 30th person ever to have this type of transplant. On Dec 6, 2016 just 6 months after the transplant Austyn's family was givin devastating news. The cancer has returned. On Dec. 13th 2016 Austyn received her 1st of 10 rounds of chemo. We are praying hard that God will rid this baby of the disease in Austyn's body. Please adopt this family as your own this Christmas. We want to help ease the financial burden this holiday season.

Of his hand" Isaiah 49:16
