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 you are having a great weekend. As I write this blog, a bunch of you are having dinner at the golf charity event for Taylor. For those of you who played golf and/or supported our family at the dinner....thank you so much. We truly appreciate your generosity and support. It is hard to believe how many people that we know and those that we have never met are supporting and praying for Taylor..it is amazing!!

A huge thank you goes out to Tom Margie. Tom is a good friend who was behind the golf tournament. He spent many hours organizing the event and making it a huge success. Thank you also to our many friends who volunteered their time at the event today.....thank you all so much.

I took Taylor and Savannah down to the hospital today to celebrate Aleeya's 3rd birthday. Aleeya has been our roommate during every round of chemo. Going to the birthday party was the highlight of Taylor's "break"....she was so excited to go to a birthday party. The party was really cute. All of Aleeya's family was there. Thank you to Aleeya and her family for letting us celebrate Aleeya's big day.

I will post again on Monday once we find out whether Taylor has gone back into remission or if she has relapsed. We will be re-admitted either way so we will be back at our second home. Please pray for Taylor.....Monday is a big day!!

Thank you again to all who have supported us through prayers, cards, gifts, food and donations. Your support means so much to us.

Love,
Kristen

    Kristen-
    It was an amazing night tonight! Tom did a great job! We missed you and the girls but of course understand your absence. Sean brought us all to tears as he spoke of the sweetness and innocence of Taylor and Savannah and the courage and love of you. You guys are an amazing family and we are all humbled by you. I am sure there will be extra prayers this weekend. We all love you!

    Hi Souza Family,
    What an amazing day and evening yesterday was. Our family feels very fortunate to have been a part of this special event. I wanted to recognize Sean for his great courage in sharing his family experiences with everyone present. We were truly touched and will continue to pray daily for Taylor. Lastly, thanks to Tom, Kim and Jess for all there work in organizing this successful event.

    Hello All,

    Such cute pictures!!! I'm happy to hear about the Golf Tournament, sounds like it went great. Anything I can do? I'm a good gofer also. Love and prayers always, Kelly My mom and her ladies from the church have a 24hour prayer chain for Taylor, each one prays and then calls the next on the chain so that someone is always praying specifically for her, even at 2 in the am. I like that!!!
