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!

I can't believe the summer is coming to an end.



Taylor and Savannah started Pre-K last Tuesday. It was an emotional day. I remember the year before when I dropped Savannah off on her 1st day (without Taylor) and rushed back to PCH to be with Taylor. I am so thankful that this year is different. The girls got to go back to school TOGETHER!!!! They LOVE Pre-K and are learning so much. They have great teachers again this year and lots of friends in their class.



Taylor is doing much better since her eye surgery. She had a really tough week. A couple days after the surgery she and I ended up spending an afternoon in the ER at PCH. Taylor's left eye was looking infected and she refused to open it. She ended up having a Corneal Abrasion in her eye. She had a really rough few days but is so much better now. The redness is almost gone and she is back to herself!!!



Sean and I went up to Flagstaff today to participate in a "Climb for Cancer" event. We were part of the "Do it For Dawson" team. Dawson is a friend who lost his battle with cancer last year. We were in the room next to Dawson at PCH and I also grew with with Dawson's dad and brother. It was a great day but an emotional day also. Watching the Merrick family cross the finish line without Dawson brought up so many emotions. We are just so thankful and honored that we got to participate with his family. Donn, Audra, and Delaney - we continue to think of you often..we are so glad you are part of our lives!!!



Taylor's next appointment is on August 30th. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support for NED!!!!
