Taylor had a scary night last night. At 3am, the nurse paged the doctor because of how high Taylor's heart rate was. It was in the 190's. The doctor came in and examined her for about 10 minutes and then said to page her back if she didn't get any better. About ten minutes later, her heart rate jumped to 215 and the room got real crazy! About 10 different doctors and nurses piled into the room trying to figure out what was going on with her. They did an EKG and gave her extra oxygen. Her temperature had spiked to 102, so they gave her Tylenol and put a cold rag on her head. After about an hour, her temp went down and her heart rate went back down to the 170’s, which is still high. She also has a lot of gunk in her throat, so her breathing is more labored and she sounds really horse...Poor baby! She finally went back to sleep about 6:30 this morning. It made for a long night with little sleep for both Taylor and Tammy.
The silver lining of the day… Taylor has officially been accepted to Pitt Memorial on a two-week trial basis. Now the only obstacle that is left is the insurance company agreeing to cover it. They should find out tomorrow.
It’s not clear how much the episode last night will delay rehab or not, but we are all so confident that if Taylor is allowed to go to rehab she will once again overcome all odds. So continue join us in Prayer, I know He will provide.
God Bless!
