Hello everyone.

Jeff was able to come home today and spend some time with boys in a normal setting. As young as the boys are, this is difficult for them as well. Keep them in your Prayers.

Last night at midnight they took Taylor down for a Cat Scan. For starters, it was a good sign that Taylor was stable enough to be able to do this. For the first time they were able to take her off the respirator, although they still had to manually provide assistance.

From my last update, Jeff and Tammy were still waiting for the neurologist to give them an official report. But the attending physician was able to give a preliminary report. According to the attending physician, the Cat Scan showed that the damage to Taylor’s brain may be more global than the EEG originally indicated. At this point we need to keep in mind this was not the opinion of the expert, and they stressed that the prognosis is hard to determine, as babies are more resilient than adults. The power of Prayer can go along way in a remarkable progress!

The cardiologist also reported that the EKG is showing that Taylor’s heart is remaining constant. No improvement, but no bad news either. Overall, Taylor’s vitals remain steady.

Some possible good news is that they think they can start feeding through the gastrointestinal tube. This is significant because if she can handle foods this way, they can start doing medicine this way as well. This would reduce risk of infection that could occur through an IV.

Some more good news. The tests show that the med load they gave Taylor seems to be working. She has not had any more brain seizures. Praise God. On the downside, the meds are keeping Taylor heavily sedated and she has slept the most part of the last 48 hours. Rest is good for Taylor, but I think everyone took comfort in having Taylor awake and alert. We pray that the meds are giving her what she needs and the Lord is providing her with the care she needs.

Talking to my parents, a real positive of this whole experience is the presence of God. This whole trial has been a testament to Christ. Jeff and Tammy’s faith has been inspirational, they hold strong that God is controlling this outcome and have found comfort in their faith. Hope and Faith is keeping our families and friends strong. Praise the Lord.

Everyone wants to know what they can do, how they can help. At this point what Taylor needs is for all of us to keep her in our thoughts and to continuously pray for a full recovery. With the grace of God, Taylor will be a testament to the power of Prayer. Please continue to Pray, spread the word of Taylor’s story and Taylor will be victorious. From the comments that we have received, Christ is definitely at work here. Thank you for all the kind words and Prayers. Continue to praise the Lord, which is how we will help Taylor. God bless.
