Good evening everyone. Today started out with Jeff coming home to spend some time with Tanner and Tate. The boys were very excited when he walked in the front door. So Mom and Lindsey took off for the hospital while Jeff and I enjoyed the day with the boys. And let me tell you, we played hard.
Overall, Taylor’s day was pretty uneventful. After some initial discomfort, they made some adjustments and Taylor rested peacefully most of the day. Although she was a bit agitated with another nasal tube added. The x-rays of Taylor’s lungs this morning didn’t show much improvement, so they are continuing with the nasal ventilation. I know Taylor will be thankful when they are able to remove these tubes. Also, she is breathing through her nose, which is a good sign. Although, I’m not sure how there is room with the ventilation tubes inserted.
The rhythmic movements that Taylor has been doing with her arms were less pronounced again today, and Dr. Birch (the Neurologist) continues to reassure them that she believes this is temporary. However, they do plan to do another MRI on Monday.
One slight concern arose today. Taylor’s hands are periodically clinched in a tight fist, and they are slightly concerned about her hands tightening. They were going to have a Physical Therapist come and look and recommend some therapy that Jeff and Tammy could do with her. They also recommended that they massage her hands when they are talking to her.
Other than that, it sounds like there was a steady stream of visitors today. Taylor is truly blessed to be surrounded by so much love and support.
We will continue to hold tight in our faith and Pray to the Lord to heal Taylor and thank him for all his glory. God Bless.
