THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

It is hard to express just how grateful we are for all of the love, support, and generosity shown to our family. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful family, friends, and community. Although Hatcher has a long road ahead, we know he has many fans cheering him on and that makes the fight worth fighting! Our hearts are full and we will never be able to properly thank so many who did so much. The benefit was a huge success, and we are in awe of so many who came out to support our little cowboy! Thanks to all who have become part of our journey, we recognize that through hard things come great blessings. Hatcher said when we got home … “Let’s do that again!” Thanks for being part of his “BEST DAY.”
Love The Wheatley Family
Randy, Britt, Jaxyn and Hatcher

Inhaled Heparin

Oh my! What a roller coaster the last 3 months have been. I know one thing for sure, Plastic Bronchitis and me will never be friends! I just hate to see Hatcher struggle for breath. I have been doing some research trying to find someone somewhere that has experienced casts as large and aggressive as Hatcher's have been and came across an adult who explained it as feeling like a semi truck was sitting on top of him. There has been days when it looked like it would be Hatcher's last ..... but the little fighter in him just wont give up! He is tough, and even at his weakest manages to get enough strength to cough these huge casts up. After a pretty rough patch, increasing his TPA regimen with no relief we took him down to Primary Children's. It was decided by his team to try an experimental inhaled heparin .... and after a few days of adding Heparin to his long list of treatments he was clear once again! We were just excited to be able to get home in time to make it to his bull riding benefit! Once again thanks for all the calls, texts and prayers ..... they work! Keep it up Hatcher! He has been clear since we have been home and are thankful for the option of "rescue heparin" if we need it. Who knows what all the side effects will be to all these drugs, but as for now he is here boots, spurs and all!
