It was said that little Hallie Kyed was hit very hard in April 2023. Doug, her dad, who works for the Boston Herald, wrote on Instagram that his daughter had died in January 2021.

 

Kyed came clean and said that things got worse after Hallie relapsed after a bone marrow transplant.

Doug wrote, “Hallie died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday morning while Jen and I held her hand in bed.” “We have no idea what to do without Hallie. We’re heartbroken.” “Our lives will never be the same again.”

 

After Hallie’s relapse, Doug wrote that his family was trying to stay positive, even though it was clear that his daughter had a lot of problems to solve.

What the reporter said at the time was, “I’m choosing to stay positive.”

“AML has thrown Hallie a lot of problems so far, but she has solved all of them.” This is without a doubt her hardest test yet, but our brave little Hallie Bear is sure to pass it.

While Doug agreed that the outlook wasn’t good when Hallie relapsed after her bone marrow transplant, he said, “We held out hope for remission because of how brave, strong, and resilient she had been during her nine-month battle with acute myeloid leukemia and all of its complications.” This is why the whole family spent extra time at the hospital last week.

The American Cancer Society says that acute myeloid leukemia begins in the bone marrow and quickly spreads to the blood. When that happens, it can move to the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and brain.

Doug told the Boston Herald that since his daughter was diagnosed last year, he has spent almost half of his nights at Boston’s Children Hospital.

“At home, my wife and I have taken turns taking care of Hallie and our 5-year-old daughter Olivia,” he said.

Meanwhile, Doug’s wife Jen said that losing her daughter made her feel like she had a hole in her heart.

Jen Kyed talked about how her heart hurt so much and how there is a huge hole in it. “I’ll never get why or how something so terrible could happen.”

Hallie, please rest in peace.
