Loving Taylor

Well....we are truly trying to adjust to being back home. You would think it was be the best time ever but it definitely has it challenges. Yes, being home is great but Taylor and Savannah are having a hard time adjusting to being back together. Because they have been apart for the majority of 7 months...they are not used to sharing toys or mommy. Taylor continues to want all of my attention and is very jealous of any one-on-one time I spend with Savannah. I took Savannah to her "talking doctor" this week and Taylor cried most of the morning begging me not to go. The only way that Savannah and I were able to go was that Taylor was sleeping when we left. Taylor is finally sleeping in her own room without waking up so that is great news. All of this will get worked out, it will just take some time.

We had an eventful weekend. We had belated Christmas at our house. Friday was Christmas Eve and Saturday was Christmas Day. Santa and his Elf visited us on Friday night (see picture).....it was a great time. So amazing to see the girls opening presents together and celebrating.

Taylor is feeling ok...very tired. She tries hard to keep up with Savannah but does not have the stamina to do it. She still complains of a stomach ache and threw up once. She has napped most days. Taylor goes back to the clinic on Tuesday to determine her blood counts. She might need a transfusion which would be done in the clinic. I am also hoping to get her bone marrow aspiration scheduled. It is so hard not knowing where we are at with her leukemia. Please continue to pray for remission. We are still not out of the woods yet. Even if Taylor is in remission, she has a very high chance of relapse over the next 2 years....please pray for strength over the next 2 years. There are so many unanswered questions.....

I wanted to thank JT Wamsley and Chris for helping us with Christmas Eve...you made 2 little girls very happy....thank you!!!

Thank you also to Rhonda Rush and all of you who helped with meals over the last 7 months. Rhonda set up the meals for us....thank you so much!!! Having a home cooked meal for Sean and Savannah while Taylor and I were in the hospital was such a treat...thanks to all of you who helped out.

I will update more on Tuesday when we get home from the clinic.....
