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!

Another quick post...I apologize for this. I am just having such a difficult time getting Taylor to get any rest. She refuses to nap and will not go to sleep. Tonight she is complaining that her leg hurts....this is a common side effect of the chemo and of leukemia. So....I am taking a quick break to post and will go back to massaging her legs.

We woke up to day to a nice surprise....her counts doubled!!! If she continues to go up quickly, we should be home this weekend. I have spent the majority of the day dealing with our health insurance....that is a another LONG story......insurance is a big pain!!!

Gotta go.....she is doing well and hanging in there. Please pray for Taylor to get out of here!!!

XOXO
Kristen

    Glad to hear her counts have doubled. That would be great to go home this weekend.

    I write this as I am faxing a letter of appeal to our insurance company regarding a claim for B:) Hopefully they have a case worker who has been assigned to Taylor's case so that you are not having to repeat yourself to lots of new people on the phone at the insurance company.

    Hope that you are all able to get more rest tonight.

    Kristen - Don't give up that hope...good things are already happening! Stay strong and keep believing the outcome will be the best possible!

    Hope is a thing with feathers
    That perches in the soul,
    And sings the tune without the words,
    And never stops at all.
    ~Emily Dickinson

    I am praying you and Taylor will get to go home this weekend. What a blessing that would be for all of you.

    Sounds like you all will be home this weekend! I know that last time her levels went up and then back down again...big disappointment. Not this time, though, you will be home this weekend, I can feel it!!

    Praying for you always,
    Suzy
