Loving Taylor

Hello all - hope you had a great weekend. I have forgotten how HOT Arizona is in July. After being inside for the past 3 weeks, I came out to a blast of heat...my car read 119 today as I was driving back to the hospital.

After 48 hours away, I came back to a happy Taylor. Her counts are continuing to rise and she is doing well. Her appetite is slowly coming back and with some coaxing she is getting a little food down throughout the day. She is even eating some candy....she needs calories!!

Because her counts are going back up and she hasn't had a fever for days, we had a few visitors come by this weekend. She is so excited to have visitors...it is great for her spirits. So....if you would like to come by, please give me a call. As long as you aren't sick or haven't' been sick lately, it should be fine. Please, please, please, if you feel the least bit "icky", visit when you are feeling better. We are also still not having kids come visit....it is just too risky. If Taylor continues to increase her blood counts and doesn't get a fever or infection, we might be home for our first break this weekend. If she was to get an infection, we would be here for an extra 10 days worth of antibiotics. So, again we ask, please help keep Taylor infection free!!!

We still haven't gotten the results of Savannah's blood test to determine is she is a potential bone marrow donor for Taylor. Hopefully this week...

Hopefully for the next couple weeks my posts will all be about Happy Taylor!!!

Thanks for all your prayers!!

Love,
Kristen
