Saturday, January 24

Good evening. Let’s get started with Friday’s events. The surgery to insert the Broviac went well, although Taylor was pretty sore afterwards. Which brings us to the latest little miracle. Taylor cried yesterday. Although you would never think to be happy to see a child cry, it was a blessing to hear it from Taylor. Even the doctors found it encouraging.

The Echocardiogram that was to be performed never happened. They wanted to do it before the surgery, but a miscommunication between two hospital shifts ended with no Echocardiogram. So we will have to wait another day, they will do the Echocardiogram tomorrow.

Today Taylor got to spend a lot of time with the Physical Therapist. She worked on her from head to toe. Taylor was pretty relaxed during the whole process due to her meds. The Physical Therapist also added another medicine to Taylor’s cocktail, some sort of muscle relaxant. The therapist worked with Tammy and Jeff as well. Showing them exercises and teaching that in this process less is more, and it should be a slow workup. It is a slow process, but if you trust in the process it will work wonders.

Taylor has truly been blessed to be surrounded by an excellent hospital staff. It is hard to be patient some days, and sometimes the news absolutely crushes you. BUT when you look back at all the progress that has been made so far, you truly realize that God is at work here. We are thankful for every small victory. As many people have posted, HE is providing everything that is needed and Taylor will be healed on HIS time. I thank the Lord for the blessings we all have received through Taylor. May HIS will continue to be done. God Bless.
