Happy Belated Valentine's Day to all of you. I meant to post this weekend but lost track of time. We are all doing well still settling back into being at home. We enjoyed a long Valentines weekend with tons of sweets and time together.
Taylor is doing really well. She is feeling better and her energy level is increasing. She had a friend from school over last week (see picture) and loved being a "kid" again. We had a BBQ at another friends house this past weekend and she was so excited to be out of her own house playing somewhere else. Her nanny, Courtney, started on Monday and she is loving every minute of her time with Courtney. Taylor and Savannah have both taken to Courtney really well. Savannah has been begging me to not go to school because she wants to stay home with Courtney instead!!! Courtney got to experience her first dressing change today....no fun!!! She is amazing with the girls. When I am back at work, Courtney will be with Taylor all morning while Savannah goes to school until 1:00. Courtney and Taylor will pick Savannah up and they will all be at home together until I get home from work. It should work out really well.
The big day is Friday. Taylor has her final bone marrow aspiration to determine if she is in remission (NED or No Evidence of Disease). I/we are all very nervous/anxious about this test. All we can do is pray at this point. We would ask that you all increase your prayers for Taylor over the next couple of days. We won't know the final results of the test for about a week. I will post as soon as we know!!!
Please also pray for our friend Kate. She is undergoing a stem cell transplant today.....she needs all of our prayers right now also!! Kate - we love you and are thinking of you!!!
Thank you in advance for your support and prayers for Friday!!!
XOXO

It's so great to hear about Taylor getting back to doing "kid" things again! I'm so glad you guys were able to find a nanny that you trust and really like. We will be thinking about you all on Friday and will have our prayers on overdrive! We will have our church prayer group praying for Taylor's remission as well!
