This blog was created by friends as a way for the Souzas to share Taylor's progress with us. Kristen and Sean have not asked for financial help, but their medical bills coupled with Kristen's loss of income is truly overwhelming. They are so appreciative of ALL of the different types of support they have received and are more grateful than you can know. Thank you!
Taylor is a beautiful, vibrant three-year-old girl who was recently diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. On June 18th, Taylor began an 8-10 month hospital stay. This blog will detail her journey back to good health!

Hello friends and family! Great news to post.....Taylor had her check up today and she continues to be NED - No Evidence of Disease. She is doing great. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.

The girls are doing great. They love school and have made a ton of new friends. They are getting ready to celebrate their 6th bday on November 11th. I still can't believe they are going to be 6!!!! They are having separate parties this year. Savannah is having a swim party and Taylor is having a Rock Star Party!!! It should be fun......

We are helping raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. We are walking in the annual Light The Night Walk on November 12th. Please visit our team page and donate if you can. Every penny truly makes a difference.....

We just did a 7 mile Climb to Conquer Cancer walk in Flagstaff. We walked with part of a team.....Doing it For Dawson. Dawson was a little boy who lost his life to Leukemia while Taylor was getting treatment. We were next door to him in the hospital and I also grew up with his Dad and Uncle. The walk was amazing and very touching. We continue to pray for all of those who are currently fighting cancer, who are in remission, and who have lost their fight.


Taylor's next test is Friday....we continue to pray for NED - No Evidence of Disease.

Hello all - I am very excited and emotional to post that Taylor and Savannah started Kindergarten today. They are so excited and LOVE being in "big girl" school. Sean and I went with the girls yesterday to meet their teachers and learn about the school and they officially started on their own today. It was a great day!!! Having children start kindergarten is very emotional in normal situations but watching Taylor and Savannah go into school together brought out so many emotions today. First, I am so thankful that Taylor is a HEALTHY 5 year old!! There were many times while Taylor was in the hospital that I truly wondered if this day would ever come.....and it did!!! I am also so thankful to all of you who have supported us during this journey....your thoughts and prayers mean the world to us!!


The girls and I also enjoyed a trip to Montana to visit Papa and Grandma Renee this summer. We had a great trip and the girls love Montana!!!


Taylor's next test is August 26th. She is doing so well that I can only imagine another great check up and continued NED!! I will post the results as soon as we get them.


Love,

Kristen

Happy Belated 4th of July. We had a great holiday and hope you all did also. We rented a beach house in Manhattan Beach, CA for the week and had a great vacation. We enjoyed much cooler weather, the beach, long walks and a special trip to the American Girl doll stores with friends. We also drove up to San Diego and went to Sea World and spent a couple days in San Diego. Sooooo much fun!!!!


Happy Summer.


Love,

Kristen

Another great check up for Taylor. Taylor continues to be NED - No Evidence of Disease. She continues to be doing so well that she is staying with every other month check ups. She is healthy, happy, and growing up so fast. I still can't believe that Taylor and Savannah will be in kindergarten this August.....hard to believe.


Happy belated Fathers Day to all. We had a great day and hope you all did also.


The summer is officially underway and the girls are going to numerous camps....tennis camp, Groovy Girl camp, American Girls Doll camp, Acting/Dancing camp, and swim camp. We are going to CA for a week to play on the beach and then I am taking the girls to Montana to visit my dad and step-mother. A fun filled summer!!!!


Thank you all for your continued support and love.

Please keep Taylor and so many of our friends who are still suffering from cancer in your prayers.
