Loving Taylor

TGIF... I hope you are all doing well. I apologize that is has been so long since I have posted. Thank you all for your emails and texts and I am sorry if I scared any of you. We are all doing fine. Things have just been so busy being back at home. I am trying to get organized again after living in the hospital for 7 months. We are all trying to readjust to being together and getting used to being a family.

Taylor is doing ok...she woke up very early this morning with a "barking" cough. I knew immediately that she had croup. I called the hospital because she was really having trouble with her breathing and they had me bring her in. The doctors verified that she does have croup. They gave her a large dose of steroids in her broviac today. She is feeling pretty crummy and complains of a sore throat. I sat with her tonight in the bathroom and steamed her for about 15 minutes.....I am hoping this helps her through the night. So.....it could be a long weekend.

The good news is that her counts have increased from our last visit but are still not high enough to do her final bone marrow aspiration. She is still showing signs of having immature cells and continues to be in recovery mode. They have tentatively scheduled her bone marrow aspiration for February 19th but will wait and see if her counts are better by then. So....for now she will continue to be very careful and have limited activity.

She continues to be very tired but enjoying every minute at home. We take Savannah to school every day and then come home and rest and play and pick Savannah back up at 1:00. The girls are still getting used to sharing again but are doing better. They are both seeing Psychologists and this is helping both of them.

So...for now we continue to wait and see.....the waiting continues to be so difficult but at least we are waiting at home!!!!

Please don't be concerned if I don't post for a week or so....I will post if something comes up and will try to post updates more often. Again, thank you for you prayers, concern, and support.

Have a great weekend.
