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!

Hello all - hope your week is going well. Our week is going well. We are all home together and enjoying every minute of it. It is hard to leave each and go to work but it is also nice to have a "little bit or normalcy" back!!!

I just wanted to provide a quick update....Taylor might not be admitted back to PCH on Monday. She is going to have her bone marrow aspiration and lumbar puncture at the outpatient clinic. Depending on what her platelet count is, she might not be ready to start round 2 of chemotherapy until later in the week. So.....I know a lot of you had asked about visiting on Monday or Tuesday at PCH....not sure if we will be there. Please call PCH at 602-546-2025 (that is the nurses station on floor 2) and ask if she is back before coming down to visit. The doctor felt that it might be Wednesday before she is admitted....we will take 2 more days at home!!!

I will update you more as I know more...it changes every day/hour/minute!!!

Thanks,
Kristen

    Our son Ben also has leukemia, so we know what you are going through. Please hang in there and let us know if we can help.
