goodbye, elyse


This is unbelievably sad news... God, I'm getting choked up as I write this. Elyse Yu, the baby I mentioned here last June who was diagnosed with Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), an extremely rare blood disease, died on October 6. She was just eight months old, the eldest of triplet sisters. Her family was keeping a blog chronicling Elyse's struggle here. KoreAm Journal wrote about her back in July: A Plea For Baby Elyse. And here's her family's donation page. My thoughts and prayers are with Elyse's family, who I don't know personally. But my heart feels heavy for them. The grief must be unimaginable.
