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!

What a difference a couple of hours can make. My happy, energetic Taylor is now very sick....throwing up every couple of minutes. It all came on very suddenly. The rash on her legs got very red and had moved to her elbows. They wanted to give her Benadryl because the rash was really bothering Taylor. She fell asleep from the Benadryl quickly and then became very agitated and uncomfortable. She woke up crying that her stomach hurt and then started throwing up. I mean...throwing up!! It was pouring out of her. She was so sick. They immediately gave her a nausea medication and she fell back asleep. Within minutes she was throwing up again so another medication was hung. All medications have the side effect of drowsiness so through it all Taylor could hardly stay awake. So...after three medications she is passed out but still very uncomfortable. She is moaning in her sleep and can't seem to get comfortable. She hasn't spiked a fever yet but I have a bad feeling about tonight. I think we are in for a long, long night!!! Luckily her favorite RN Sophia is on tonight so she will be in great hands. I feel so bad because all day long Taylor couldn't wait to see Sophia......that's all she could talk about...when would Sophia get here....she just couldn't stay awake to see her.

Anyway....not a good ending to an already hard day! Hoping she and Savannah both feel better tomorrow.
