Loving Taylor

What a change 24 hours can make. After the drama of the Xray and CT last night, Taylor finally got to sleep around 10:30. She slept as well as you can at the hospital and only needed pain meds once during the night. The great news is that she has now gone 24 hours without a fever!!! After 15 straight days of fever, I think they have finally gone away!! I am so excited and she definitely feels better. She continues to have diarrhea and stomach pain. She hasn't needed as much morphine today but still has had some. They have decided that her belly needs "rest" and she is not allowed to eat or drink anything. Her TPN (nutrition) has been changed from 12 hours to 24 hours until we get her belly pain and diarrhea under control.

Her cough continues and at times is worse so she will probably go down for another CT scan tomorrow to see if they can tell what is going on with her lungs. With this brings tons of anxiety.....please pray for her.

She actually got out of bed today and did a couple of crafts and sat on the couch. This is also the first day in about 17 days that she has been awake the entire day. She did not nap once...she actually has some energy. I can't express how much better I feel today...I truly have hope that my "old" Taylor is coming back. So..I pray for an uneventful night....we both need some rest before the CT tomorrow.
