Loving Taylor

Quick post tonight as I have a splitting headache!! Taylor was not feeling well for most of the day. She threw up her dose of Tamiflu this morning and would not eat anything. Her lungs are still clear and have no evidence of pneumonia. She finally agreed to try a banana after I threatened her (I hate doing this!!) with them putting a tube down her nose. This seemed to work because she did eat almost a whole banana....yeah!!! She was very lethargic for most of the day but seemed to get a little energy late afternoon. She did a couple of puzzles and practiced writing her name. She ended up eating a small piece of pizza tonight.....yeah!!! She says she feels better but is just tired and coughing a ton. She didn't get much sleep last night from all of her coughing. So....she is watching a movie and is almost asleep.

Her blood counts are dropping quickly. I never thought I would be excited about this but I am....the sooner her counts get to zero, the sooner she comes back up!!!! I am hoping she will be at zero by early next week.

I am hoping the worst of the flu is over and she will feel better tomorrow and start eating. They have agreed to hold off on a NG (tube down her nose to give food) for a couple of days. I really don't want her to go through this. As long as she eats a little bit each day, I think she will be safe!! Let's hope!!

I am going home tomorrow afternoon to spend some time with Savannah on Halloween. I will post again when I get back.

Happy Halloween.
