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 was a great Friday for us. Taylor finally in on an uphill swing and her counts went WAY up to 170. We have to be at 250 before she gets to go home. They think (unless something happens tonight) will go either Saturday or Sunday!!! Yeah!!! We are SOOOO excited. This has been a long round but it ended well!!! We are scheduled to come into the outpt. oncology clinic on Thursday for her bone marrow aspiration and lumbar puncture. We will then find out the results from Round 2 and when we will start Round 3. If we get out tomorrow (please!!!) we would actually have 2 full weekends at home....not sure what we would do with ourselves!!!

Anyway, she is doing well. Still a little cranky and her appetite is not great, but doing well. She knows she will probably go home this weekend and all she can talk about is "hugging Harley" and "eating teriyaki chicken and noodles"!!! She (we) are all very sad to see Papa leave tomorrow. He has been an amazing help to Sean and I these last 2 weeks and it was great having him here. We already miss you Papa!!!

I will post again and let you all know when we are going home.....hopefully tomorrow.

Have a great weekend,
Love,
Kristen and Taylor
