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!

Hello all - sorry it has been so long since I have posted. We have been BUSY. We enjoyed a family Thanksgiving....it was great to be home in time for dinner. We have decorated the house inside and out for Christmas and we had a belated birthday celebration for Taylor and Savannah. They are having so much fun being back home together. Savannah is not going to school this week so the girls can make the most of their time together.

Taylor is feeling good. She gets really tired but is enjoying every moment of being a "normal" kid. Unfortunately, I have had to change her dressing twice since we have been home.....no fun!! Savannah is so sweet to her sister....she sits with Taylor and holds her hand while I change the dressing. Taylor goes back to the clinic on Friday to her her blood levels checked. Because we got sent home with a VERY low ANC (infection fighting level), I am hoping these levels have gone up considerably. If her counts are acceptable, we will be admitted on Monday for Round 5. We are excited to have another weekend at home.

Just wanted to provide a quick update.....we are all doing well. I will post again after her appointment on Friday.

Thanks,
Kristen
