We received a call from Donna this morning on Taylor's update. She had been in the hospital earlier in December for about a week, but we they were able to come home for Christmas and we were all hoping everyone was getting back to good health.
Saturday (Jan 3) they were back in the hospital as Taylor has not been getting any better and her breathing was much labored. I believe at this time, the tests finally came back positive with RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus).
Jeff called Donna early Sunday morning (January 4) and said Taylor had stopped breathing for 10 min. From what I understand, Jeff was with Taylor when she was literally grasping for breathe. Although they were already in the hospital, it took nearly 10 minutes for the hospital personnel to get her breathing again.
Taylor was placed in an incubator and later was attempting to breath on her own. In addition to her breathing issues, that afternoon they also diagnosed that she has something wrong with her heart. Dick and Donna flew to North Carolina on Sunday and arrived at the hospital around 11:00 at night. They were able to see Taylor and Dad said she looked like an Angel sleeping. They actually told Jeff and Tammy to go home and get some sleep, which was a good sign since the original outlook was that she may not make it through the night.
The hospital is about 2 hours from where Jeff and Tammy live so they checked into a motel nearby and tried to get some sleep. Neither had slept since Friday night. Our parents got to Jeff and Tammy’s house around 1:00 am and let their good friend Angela go home. She had been watching the boys.
