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!

Happy 4th of July!! I hope you are all enjoying your holiday weekend.

I am still at home. I am going to stay home again tonight with Savannah and Sean is going to go down and relieve Grandma at the hospital. It is SO hard being away but great to be with Savannah.....it is so hard to balance this all!!!

Taylor's rash is getting worse...the doctors have asked for a Dermatology consult....keep praying it is not an infection. She still doesn't have a fever so that is a positive sign. Her blood levels are at the lowest they can be. The only good thing about that is they will slowly start to rise and she will feel better. I am hoping another couple weeks and we will be home for our first break.

Quick post today...trying to be with Savannah and get all of my "stuff" done around the house. A special thanks to Grandma for staying last night......we would not know what to do with out you....

Love,
Kristen

    Hi Kristen -

    I am SO SORRY to just be reaching out now...there are truly no excuses. Ever since David Bredemeyer sent out the email, I have been heart broken. You have been in my thoughts and Taylor's been in my prayers. I think you are an AMAZING person and an INCREDIBLE mom. You are so wonderful and so strong - I really appreciate your friendship. You don't need to text or call me, just continue your daily blogs. PLEASE let me know if there is anything I can do to help...I will. I miss you much!

    Love,
    Karyn Tse
