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!

Well...I might have a little good news. Taylor is very close to going 24 hours with out a fever. We just checked it and it on the border of being a fever so we are waiting an hour and will re-check. If she makes it 24 hours, this will be the first time 15 days that she did not have a fever. She continues to have belly pain, diarrhea , needs pain meds, and is very tired.

I was able to leave for 6 hours today and spend time with Savannah. It was great to be home and spend time with her. Being home also brought 5 loads of laundry, changing sheets, catching up on paper work and re-packing for the week but Savannah and I made cupcakes and watched a movie together. Sean came down with Taylor. She slept most of the day but ended up feeling a little better this afternoon and played in bed for a couple of hours. She is so tired...it is actually scary how tired she is. But hopefully the sleep will help her to recover and feel better.

Other than that...not much has changed. She still isn't herself but definitely felt a little better today.

Have a good night...

    Kristen,
    I am so happy that today you have seen a little improvement in Taylor. I am also so glad you got to spend some quality time with Savannah! I'm sure she was so excited. We will be praying that Taylor's fevers stay away for good and that she continues to improve! We will keep praying for her recovery. I hope you get some rest tonight.

    God Bless,
