Sunday, February 8

We got some more information around the EEG they performed all last night. It is showing that she is still having seizure activity, especially when she is sleeping. When she is a sleep the episodes are happening several times an hour. They decided to add another medication this morning in addition to the Phenobarbital they have been using. They are aggressively trying to get the seizures under control, but it sounds like it may be trial and error while they figure out the right balance of medicines. Taylor will be hooked up to the EEG through the night again and hopefully they will be closer to a solution tomorrow.

Talking to Jeff's dad, he said Taylor was fairly relaxed today and other than the electrodes and tubes, she looks like an angel when she is a sleep. He said they sang her songs, rubbed her hair, cheeks, arms, and legs most of the day and she continues to have her physical therapy.

Donna (Jeff's Mom) stayed with Taylor last night and was exhausted today. That's one night! Tammy has been staying with Taylor 4 nights a week and Jeff has been staying with her 3 nights a week, so it really shows the strength and resolve the Lord has blessed the family with.

Below is a little video clip of Taylor chilling out. My heart continues to go out to her, and we will all continue to put our faith in God and know that she is in His arms.




God Bless.

I have an eight month old baby boy and I just can't even imagine for one second the heaviness this has to put on your hearts. We are praying for Taylor every single night and I hope so much to read about a miracle occuring for her real soon!

I have been keeping up with the updates and I just want you guys to know I think of you all the time. You both are so strong and I know your family will get through this. Please let me know if there is anything I can do, even if its just to pick up the boys for a couple of hours. Our prayers are with you and your family. Jimmy sends his love and prayers from Iraq. Stay strong and know everyone is pulling for your family.
