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!! Today Taylor awoke feeling crappy. Her counts continue to be a zero and she is really starting to feel it. She has dark circles under her eyes and no appetite today. She has a few bites of food but not much. She still has energy but is extremely cranky. Savannah, Grandma Renee and Papa came to visit and she and Savannah played. After they left, she asked me if I could "rock her to sleep". She was out quickly and has been sleeping for about an hour!!! I think she is either coming down with a bug or the chemo is finally hitting her. Either way, her nose is running, her temperature is creeping up and she just doesn't feel good!!!

I am doing my best to keep her as clean and sterile as possible!! So...again, we appreciate you all understanding that we are not having visitors right now. As much as we would LOVE to see all of you, I am trying so hard to keep her sterile...hope you all understand!!

Have a great weekend. I am going home Saturday and Sunday to be with Savannah....will post again Monday night!!!

Love to all,
Taylor and Kristen
