Today was another challenging day. Taylor really didn't feel well for most of the day. She didn't throw up but wouldn't eat much and just wanted to watch TV and lay down for most of the day. She was up a little bit to play Candyland but wanted to lay right back down. She just doesn't have any energy. Her rash has gotten worse. They actually don't think it is related to her chemotherapy....they are not sure what is causing it. They are going to give her a dose of Benadryl tonight to see if that helps at all. Tonight at 6:00 she received her chemotherapy injection in her leg. It actually went better than I thought it would but was still pretty rough. She was extremely brave and strong. It has been 2 hours since the injection and she hasn't had a reaction so hopefully we are out of the woods.....
Taylor actually get a break in her chemo treatments until Tuesday at 12:00 am. Then she has the same protocol that she just went through again. She will get another injection next Wednesday at 6:00pm. Then we wait......
The picture above is of Taylor in a new hat from our friend Katie. Katie is the mom to one of our past roommates, Jake. Jake was downstairs for a MRI and Katie stopped up to visit. Taylor loves the hat.....thank you Katie!!!
I am off to get some rest....last night was a long night with not much sleep......
Way to be a brave princess Tay! Love your hat...you look SOOO pretty in it! XOXO Jess

Hi Taylor,

Hey girls. Because we haven't posted, still know we think about you every day and know the struggles you endure and pray for the success of all of this. Kristen and Sean, you have realized that Taylor and Savannah are stronger than you would have ever imagined. Heck, you never imagined that you could endure what you are going through. Continue to draw strength from each other. The kids are tough, and because you can't trade places with them you make them ok as best as you can and make sure they know how much you love them. Getting Taylor well while making sure Savannah is ok is a tough job but you guys are great parents. Thanks for keeping us informed...I know how tough that can be. We love you guys. Tell Taylor and Savannah Delaney says hi and thanks for the goodies. Keep the faith.
