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!

Well...it has been a busy weekend. We had a garage sale on Saturday and the girls had a lemonade stand. The girls had a ton of fun and enjoyed passing out lemonade. Their theme was "Lemonade for Leukemia (thank you Courtney for making the sign!!)" They are putting some of their money in their savings account and sending some to Elijah's family. It was a great day....thank you to our many friends who stopped by!!
Today we had a birthday party for our good friend Remi....Happy Birthday Remi. The party was also to celebrate Taylor being home from the hospital. The party theme was a "Princess tea party". All the girls looked so cute in their fancy dresses. The tea party was adorable and the girls all had a GREAT time. Thank you so much to Keryn and Dave for opening their house for the party and sharing Remi's birthday party with Taylor....you are great friends and we love you!!!
Tomorrow is a big day....another bone marrow aspiration. Celebrating Taylor being home from the hospital today with her friends was bittersweet. If the results from this test do not bring good news, we will most likely be back in the hospital. Celebrating being home one day and having the test the next day is crazy.....my stomach is in knots!! With the recent passing of Elijah, I am reminded how horrible leukemia truly is. No child should have to go through this. I try hard to be positive and think healing thoughts but it is really hard. Tomorrow's test just has to bring good news.....
I will post when we know results. Please join us in prayer for Taylor, Elijah and all of the children battling cancer...it is a difficult journey.

    We are so proud of the girls for "working" the lemonade stand and then passing their hard earned profits to Elijah's family. So sweet! We are continuously praying for Taylor and awaiting her results.

    Thinking of your family always,
    Jenn, Brad, Addy and Chase
