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!

A quick post this morning to let you all know that Taylor made it through the night without any reactions. She did fine. She is still getting a large dose of Benadryl every 6 hours. She is also being hooked up right now to receive another transfusion. She is not getting platelets today, she is receiving red blood cells. So, I am praying there is not another reaction.


I have been meaning to post a picture from Taylor's visit with our good friend Michael. I can't resist posting the picture (see attached) of Michael getting his nails done. Thank you Michael....Taylor had SO much fun during your visit.


I will post later tonight about their birthday. The transfusion is starting so I will be not taking my eyes off Taylor!!!

    Hi, Kristen: I am not sure if you remember me -- I am Maddie's mom from last year at Chanen. I have been reading your blog every day and just wanted to let you know that I am praying for Taylor and thinking about her and you every day. I can only try to imagine how hard and scary this ordeal must be for everyone concerned. Happy birthday to the girls. Sending much love -- Jenifer Kasten

    Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Taylor and Savannah, happy birthday to you! I hope you get to eat yummy cake and open presents.

    I have a present for your birthday, my mama will give it to your mommy. I hope we can play together soon; I like playing star wars, spiderman, the memory game and pretending to be a puppy dog.

    Happy birthday, I am 4 too.

    Your friend,

    Happy Birthday to Savannah and Taylor! I can't believe the two of you are four today. It seems just like yesterday that we attended your third birthday party:) I hope Tay Tay did well with her transfusion and is able to celebrate her special day. Eat an extra scoop of ice cream for me. Yum!

    In our thoughts as always,
    Jenn, Brad, Addison and Chase
