Tuesday,

A little recap of what's going on with Taylor. We had another Care Conference on Monday. All of her therapist said they feel she is making great progress. They feel she will definitely benefit to stay here for the next 4 to 5 weeks as estimated. Since, she was on a "two week" trial basis, they have to call our insurance back and make sure everything is good on their end. Our case worker doesn't feel that will be a problem... Her Speech Therapist started a new oral stimulation called Vital Stem. Basically, they place electrodes on her cheeks and throat to help stimulate the muscles in her face in order to help with her suck and swallow reflex... Her cardiologist also stopped by to tell us that they would be performing another echo on Monday. He also increased one of her heart medicines. He commented on how well Taylor looks and expects her to show slow, but gradual progress... Slow and Steady, just like the turtle Papa gave her!

Tammy

God Bless
