Thursday, January 8

Apparently it was a pretty quiet day for everyone today. Which may be what everyone needed! Taylor was more heavily sedated than normal today. They gave her a triple dose (load dose) of the meds needed to control the brain seizures. This will more quickly build up her system. The result was that Taylor slept most the day and didn’t open her eyes or move during the day. Although Jeff said she moved a little after my parents left.

Two Cardiologists stopped in today and both were pleased with the progress. She is still on a respirator, but her blood pressure and heart rate continues to improve. The numbers are what they think they should be at the moment and what they are looking for is gradual improvement everyday. They did another echocardiogram last night and didn’t see much change. Her blood pressure did drop last night, but they think it was due to the balance of her meds. They adjusted those and everything bounced back. They will do another echocardiogram tomorrow.

Continue to keep Taylor in your thoughts and Prayers. She has a long battle, but she is a fighter and with God’s grace she will win! God Bless.

I am praying for little Taylor! When my wife and visited with Tammy and Jeff after she was born and were able to hold Taylor, our hearts just melted. Such a sweet little girl.

We love the Whitehead family and our church is lifting them up in prayer..

I will be praying for you Taylor. I just prayed that God would bring you an inner peace and comfort and that He would come through at the 'right' time as He's done so many times in the past...only to bring Him glory. You have already glorified God with your life as your story has touched me. God is on the throne...He is always on the throne.

Hi Jeff & Tammy, we are so delighted to hear of
Taylor's good report. We are standing in faith believing, with you and all the others who are praying for Taylor. Keep holding on to God, knowing that He hold life in His hands and He has a purpose for Taylor. Jeremiah 29:11(NRSV)For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.
We love you guys and hope to see you soon.

Jeff and Tammy,
Love and prayers for Taylor and you. I was so glad that Dick called to let us know what is happening in your lives. I have let Rita's and True's family know about Taylor and of course they are sending love and prayers as well. Also, our cousin, Laura, has forwarded the information I sent her to the Tharnish Family Reunion email list so lots more people are adding prayers by now.
Love,
Bernie, Bill, Bridget, Andy and Eric

I will keep in my prayers that God will keep you safe and heal your heart. May God give you all peace and strength during this time. Give God the praise that you have reached out and touched many hearts already. Dick and Donna, may you get some rest and I thank God that you are there to help with your grandchildren. My prayers are with all of you.
