Thursday, February 26

We finally made it!!! We arrived at Pitt Memorial Hospital around 12:30pm. Taylor is resting comfortably, probably dreaming of her brothers. All of the staff in the Rehab facility have been outstanding. They are so sweet and so encouraging. They have Taylor on the schedule to start rehab at 8:30 in the morning. Occupation, Speech, and Physical Therapy will access her to see what her goals should be and we will have our first "care conference" on Monday. In our conference, they will discuss where Taylor is now and where they think she should be. They will also give us a projected departure date. Tanner has been talking a lot about Taylor lately. He asks when she's coming home so he can help hold her. How sweet! Tate is still somewhat clueless. He does however, realize when his daddy is out of the house. Yesterday when I was home, he walked around the house yelling and looking for daddy. It was really cute. I'm sure they are just as ready for us to be home as a family again just as much as Jeff and I are. Tonight Jeff is taking Tanner and Tate to support his girls high school basketball team. They are in the 2nd round of the state playoffs. He is mighty brave to be taking both of them! I told him to make sure he has lolly pops in his pocket for Tate!!! Well, I better run...the Princess wants to be picked up! Love you all! Tammy

God Bless

Yay! I am so glad that you guys are back in Greenville, closer to home. Means I can come and see you soon too! It is exciting to know that the Princess starts her rehabilitation tomorrow! Get started on the road to recovery... God will be with Taylor, and the rest of the family, every step of the way! Though the road may be long, it will be worth it. Do not forget to pullover at rest stops, take deep breaths, and say your prayers...I know we all are! In case you start to get LOTS of comments on the blog, just wanted you to know the kids in my classes have expressed such genuine care and concern for Taylor, I did not have the heart to say no when they asked for the web site...so get ready! They want to personally send you love and encouragement. Every day it has become a routine in class to check the site after we watch Channel One. Plus, every prayer we can get for Taylor and the family is another voice lifting you guys up to Heaven! As always, thinking and praying for you all...
