By Lisa Ansay — Sep 3, 2012 12:57pm Responsiveness is one of the key markers of Taylor’s medical status (well, anyone’s medical status). Between responsiveness and balance, they pretty much tell the story. Taylor’s level of responsiveness (“LOR”) has decreased over the past few days – but it is nearly…
By Ron Stark — Aug 31, 2012 6:08pm Taylor’s plan is to be taken off of his antibiotics after his Monday evening dose, wait 48 hours and then give him a Lumbar Poke to test the CSF for any bacteria. He is having good but very tired days as he…
By Ron Stark — Aug 31, 2012 12:18am Taylor Had a good day today. His temps were great! The plan is to watch his temps closely, see how he responds to all of the tasks asked of him, and wait……………..He’s got this….. with all of you’re help.
By Ron Stark — Aug 29, 2012 11:37pm As of tonight there have been no plans made for another surgery……… The doctors never ordered any new test for today as Taylor’s temp was well within a normal range all day. This is normal for him as his high temps seem to…

By Lisa Ansay — Aug 16, 2012 11:49am Taylor is getting his rest – his nursing staff ensures his comfort. They are soooo good here. If he moves or makes a peep they are right there. He is well taken care of. Surgeons chose to use a graft this time. The…

By Ron Stark — Aug 13, 2012 4:23pm After all the data has been processed it has been decided that there is no other choice but to have another surgery to fix the breach that is causing air to enter his frontal lobe area. Although the CT scans could not…
By Ron Stark — Aug 12, 2012 10:12pm As Lisa posted earlier, Taylor was moved back to the ICU unit to be watched closely, and for more tests to be conducted regarding his unresponsiveness. He had a CT scan this morning that reveled an air pocket in his frontal lobe…
