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!

TGIF!!! I hope you all have had a great week. Day 3 of chemo and she is doing well. She had a great day and seems to be feeling really well. Other than fighting the eye drops that she has to take every 4 hours, she has been great about everything. She needs the eye drops during the 8 days of chemo to help her not get conjunctivitis. The drops burn their eyes and she hates them. Her appetite was decent today and her spirits are good!!

Each day we wake up, I search her pillow for more hair loss!! The doctors keep reminding me that she will most likely lose her remaining hair this round! We talk about it each morning and she amazes me with her strength...she keeps saying, "hair doesn't matter Mommy!!". She is too cute!!!

I am planning on going home tomorrow afternoon through Sunday. Grandma will be coming down. Taylor's counts are high enough still to go to the playroom every day...she is in heaven!!

Have a great weekend. If I don't post tomorrow it is because I am home enjoying some time with Savannah and Sean. Will post again on Sunday when I get back.

XOXO
Kristen

    Dear Taylor, Savannah, Kristen, and Sean. This is Dawson's family from next door. Keep it down over there would ya?
    Wow for all of the things you all are going through. We have read your journal. Could it be that strong brave kids(and their tough siblings) are chosen to fight these battles? We are praying for all of you. Taylor is some trooper! Savannah too is a strong little girl and Taylor is lucky to have such a great sister. Kristen and Sean, we know sometimes the days run together and the milestones of ANC, hemoglobin count, negative LP tests, are huge and we feel for you. Hang in there. Your kids are lucky to have strong parents. Keep the faith.

    Donn, Audra, Dawson, and Delaney Merrick
