By Ron Stark — Aug 28, 2012 7:18pm I have just spoken with Taylor’s brain surgeon and because of Taylor’s constant fever he needs to rule out that the last surgery, to repair the breach, might not have totally been a success. More tests and scans will be done and…
By Lisa Ansay — Aug 28, 2012 8:19am Taylor is still resting, recovering, and beginning to regain his strength from his series of surgeries this past month. Physical Therapy came by for the first time yesterday, and Taylor walked with help and a walker for a short lap around the…
By Lisa Ansay — Aug 21, 2012 9:02pm Taylor had an alert, oriented, and even enthusiastic day. It was awesome to have him chiming in – and saying please and thank you to the medical staff. He hasn’t spoken in a while, and today that started turning around. His hair…
By Lisa Ansay — Aug 20, 2012 9:59am I have chosen not to read too many “personal accounts” of those affected by Traumatic Brain Injury. This has been both good, and bad. I did not want to get too caught up with stories of how bad things can be, yet…
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 14, 2012 5:27pm Taylor is on his way to the recovery room after once again a successful surgery. All three surgeons came and spoke with us in the waiting room and said things went very well. A graft of fatty tissue was taken from his…
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…
By Lisa Ansay — Aug 12, 2012 11:23am Taylor’s level of responsiveness changed a bit over the last few days, which prompted a CT scan last night. The CT indicated a pocket of air in the crainal cavity which has grown as compared to the same type of scan performed last week. This may be due…
By Lisa Ansay — Aug 9, 2012 2:03pm This is Taylor’s new hospital room. (wink wink) Queen-sized pillow top and high thread-count sheets; he will know he has graduated to the next stage of his rehabilitation. There was an option for a hospital bed, and if that seems to be more…
