Loving Taylor

Hello all - Happy Sunday. I hope you had a great weekend. After a quick 24 hour break, I am back with Taylor. She seems to be feeling better tonight and actually ate an entire bagel for me. I brought it from home and wanted it "dry" but ate all of it. Her rash is much worse and is bothering her. She is itchy all over. She got Benadryl tonight for it but it doesn't seem to be working. They are checking right now to see what else she can have. She is covered in this chemo rash from head to toe. She even has it on her eyelids!! Poor baby!! Tomorrow is her last dose of chemo for this round...thank goodness!! Now the waiting begins....when will she get to zero, will she get a fever, will she get an infection, will she get mouth sores, etc. This stinks!!! All we can do is pray for an easy round.

I wanted to let all of you know that I have been asked to share Taylor's story during a live radio feed from the cafeteria at PCH on Thursday. Below, please find the information that I have received on the event:

• It is the ninth year for this radiothon fundraiser at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. There’s no better way to let our community know what a special place Phoenix Children’s is than through the eyes and experiences of our patients and families.
• Radiothon will broadcast live on KTAR’s 92.3 FM, 620 am, and stream live on their website at www.ktar.com
• I am scheduled at 4:20 pm on Thursday, September 17th.

If you are able and interested, please listen in. The radiothon will go all day on the 16th and 17th.

That's all for tonight...need to get her something else for the itching!!

Have a great week.

Love,

Kristen
