Taylor is 4 months old today! Overall, it seemed to be a quiet day. Taylor was more awake and moving her hands and feet. When you touched her she reacted like every other baby would. The doctors and nurses seemed please with this.
The Neurologist stopped in to discuss the CAT Scan; she really didn’t provide any additional information that Jeff and Tammy didn’t already know. She did state that they really need to do an MRI to get a better idea of the damage, but they will have to wait until Taylor is more stable. Hopefully in the next week or so. She did give Taylor a physical and tested her reflexes and was pleased with the results.
Both Cardiologists came in again today. They didn’t really have any news; they believe the condition of her heart remains the same. One of the Cardiologists is going to compare the latest images to the original ones in hopes that they might see a very slight change.
Talking to my Dad, he said Taylor looked good today, her color looked better and she gained a little weight (very little, but we will take it). They were able to give her baby milk through the gastrointestinal tube today, and they have moved some IVs around. Today she didn’t have any IVs in her hands, so they could put a finger in her hand and she would kind of grasp it.
Going into this week it’s hard to say what to expect. God willing, we will receive news of constant improvement and it would be great to hear that her heart is responding to the medicines. I know churches all over the world said Prayers for Taylor today. We thank everyone for the support, comforting words, and the Prayers. God Bless.

4 months old and so little to have to fight this, but SO VERY STRONG because of all the faith, love, and prayers that are with you. We prayed for you in church today...I did the best thing a Blasi could do and blubbered! :> Keep the faith! We are praying not only for Taylor but also for you Jeff, Tammy, boys and the rest of the Whitehead clan. We love you and miss you! --Aunt Kelly
Jeff & Tammy,
The posts from Saturday and Sunday are encouraging. It sounds as if Taylor is in an excellent hospital with the best infant critical care facilities that you could want for her. Babies have an amazing ability to heal once the biggest crises has passed. We will continue to check the blog and I promise that we will send best possible thoughts for her in that direction.

My Thoughts go out to you. My child too had a heart defect and during surgery her heart stopped for 33 minutes. She had a resulting TBI and quite a bit of damage. But Let me tell you they can get better and God has his hand on each little one. Below is a link to my myspace and my daughters that tell our story. I will be praying for you guys. With God all Things are possible. Message me if you have any questions, we have walked a similar path. God Bless
