Saturday, September 12

Can you believe our little angel turned one yesterday? Nine months ago, we didn't know if we would be celebrating this day.... However, by God's Grace and Taylor's fighting spirit, we have so much to be thankful for. Happy Birthday to our precious girl!

Last Friday, we met with Mrs. Rollings from The Governor of Morehead School of the Blind. It was mostly filling out paper work and getting the ball rolling so Taylor will start to have vision therapy. She gave us some strategies to practice in order to hopefully help Taylor regain her vision. Mrs. Rollings will evaluate Taylor on September 21st and the 28th. Jeff and I are very excited and hopeful that Taylor's vision will continue to improve.

Taylor's neurologist has increased her seizure medicine topomax quite a bit over the last month. The hope is to have 2 or less per day. Right now, she probably has between 6-12 per day. Most of these are a quick startle. However, she continues to have a couple of the 10 second convulsive type seizures per day. It's never a comfortable feeling when she has those types of seizures......Please continue to pray that the increase in medication will eventually knock out these seizures all together!

That's about it for now... Love you all...
Tammy

God Bless

What a great day! I know it truly was a Happy Birthday!!! God is good girl and I am truly amazed at the gifts he gives each of us. I don't think most of realize what our God given gifts are until we are faced with situations but I am so thankful for all the experts that you have encountered thus far that continue to offer their gifts and see that Taylor continues on the path of improvement!!! You both of great parents! And those little boys are adorable too! Take care. Jennifer Santaniello
