Sports Reporter’s 2-Year-Old Daughter Has Died After Courageous Fight Against Leukemia

Nine months ago, Hallie Kyed was just two years old when she received a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia in April 2023. Unfortunately, according to Doug Kyed, a reporter for the Boston Herald and Hallie’s father, Hallie passed away on January 21 at the age of 2. Doug Kyed posted this news on Instagram.
According to Kyed, things changed for his daughter when she experienced a setback after a bone marrow transplant. The effectiveness of her treatment had ceased.

“Hallie passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday morning while Jen and I were holding her hands in bed,” Doug wrote. “We feel completely disoriented and devastated without Hallie.” Our lives will never be identical.

As Doug proceeded, his little daughter “was an exceptional child.” And even though she was only two years old, “she had a positive effect on many people she encountered.”

“We were fortunate to be her parents, and Olivia was lucky to have the best baby sister.”

According to the reporter, they were aware that the outlook was not good when she experienced a relapse after her bone marrow transplant. As a result, the entire family spent some quality time at the hospital last week. However, there was still hope for her recovery because of Hallie’s bravery, strength, and resilience throughout her nine-month struggle with acute myeloid leukemia and its various complications.

However, even though Hallie showed courage and tenacity in dealing with the tragedy, the chemotherapy she received following the transplant did not work. Her leukemia, which was a very aggressive kind, had become uncontrollable by the time she began a trial treatment.

Doug commended the specialists at Boston Children’s Hospital for making every effort to assist Hallie, and she successfully overcame AML on a daily basis for more than nine consecutive months. Nothing could have possibly equipped us for this moment when she was initially diagnosed in April or after her successful transplant in October.

The mourning father shared how Hallie used to call out “DADDDDYYY” to him, asking him to “take her for a walk around the hospital floor” and how she would gently pat him on the back when he lifted her out of her cot.

“Hal, my koala baby, my little Hallie Bear, my Sour Patch Kid […] was incredibly attractive, naturally humorous (and aware of it) and had the potential to excel in dance class.” Medical professionals enjoyed observing the princess attire she would wear each day (or specific hour).

And even though “the world is a worse place without Hallie in it,” Doug wishes that those who are grieving the loss of his daughter understand one lesson from her; “it’s important to know what you want and to keep asking for it, whether it’s going for a walk, a ride in the car, or wearing a specific Disney dress (usually Cruella).”

“I will miss caressing her hair, giving her kisses on her head, and expressing my love for her the most.” Hallie always.

Hallie’s funeral will take place on January 26. We express our sympathy and support for the Kyed family at this challenging period.
