By Lisa Ansay — Apr 19, 2012 7:59pm Okay, so honestly – yesterday was challenging as a parent. Not much fun at all. Taylor was running a fever, 103F – 104F pretty much all day, regardless of the number of ice packs involved. His heart rate was twice what it…
By Ron Stark — Apr 18, 2012 8:29pm Taylor got to sit in his chair for a bit today but needed to lye down because of a coughing spell. His collar has come off and will be off whenever he is in the bed. They put the collar on for…
By Lisa Ansay — Apr 17, 2012 9:10pm First thing this morning, Taylor’s pulminologist changed his trache tube for a completely different one. This was not a friendly process for T, and he had a bit of respiratory distress when they tried to reattach him to the ventilator. The RT…

By Ron Stark — Apr 14, 2012 12:58am Phase two of T’s recover will be long and anxious. His new stay is not an ICU. Lisa or I will be with him continuously until he wakes up. This phase is to get him off of the respirator assistance and remove…
By Ron Stark — Apr 13, 2012 3:19pm Taylor has been flown to Phoenix for the next part of his journey. We will post more later.
By Lisa Ansay — Apr 12, 2012 5:32pm Taylor has been off sedation all day, and is slowly waking. They say it might take a few days since he has been sedated for nearly two weeks. He is breathing on his own with only minimal supplemental oxygen. His vitals have…
By Ron Stark — Apr 11, 2012 6:27pm Today, Taylor had the day off from all of the rigors of the ICU. They are letting him rest peacefully after a chaotic day yesterday. He still has a slight fever at times that they are regulating with a simple room fan.…
