Loving Taylor

Hello all - hope your week is off to a great start. Taylor had a good day. She is feeling SO much better than yesterday. For some reason, she really took a turn yesterday. She woke up feeling extra tired and complained that her stomach hurt. She either wanted me to lay in bed with her or to lay on the couch with me. She would not eat anything and was on the verge of spiking a fever all day. She was also having problems with her eyes. She rubbed them and covered them with her blankets most of the day. She didn't want any light in the room. As I mentioned in my previous post, she also ended up having another platelet transfusion. Her levels were critically low and she had a small amount of spontaneous bleeding. So....like, I mentioned, yesterday did not go as planned. I ran home for a couple quick hours and did laundry and packed up more clothes for this week. I decided not to stay at home because Taylor was feeling so crummy. So....I missed seeing Savannah all weekend!! She enjoyed spending the night with Grandma on Saturday and most of the day on Sunday.

After Taylor's transfusion last night, she slept through the night. She woke up this morning feeling much better. She was hungry and wanted to get out of bed. I ended up going to work so Sean stayed with her today. She played and felt great all day.

Her gums in her mouth are really swollen today which has been a sign in her previous rounds that her counts might slowly begin to rise......PLEASE!!! Today is Day 27 and we are still at zero. I am hoping we will wake up tomorrow and she will slowly starting climbing up.

That's all for tonight...we are off to read books.

Taylor and Kristen
