By Lisa Ansay — Apr 26, 2012 8:06pm Another bump in the road, but he’s doing okay. His infectious disease doctor (her name is Dr. Moran) spoke with me this morning with the following information: he has tested positive for c-diff; his EEG yesterday confirmed it is a brain-wide metabolic…
By Ron Stark — Apr 25, 2012 9:51pm Taylor had another big day today. This morning he had little bit of physical therapy. followed by a new trache being installed followed again by an EEG. Physical therapy has gone as expected as they don’t ask him to do too much…
By Lisa Ansay — Apr 24, 2012 1:37pm Taylor’s sodium levels are stable, and within normal range. This has been a lot of fun for us because he is movin’ and groovin’ quite a bit. Here is a pic of T and his dad chillin’ yesterday afternoon. Can you see…

By Lisa Ansay — Apr 20, 2012 11:09pm Taylor had a few appointments today: lumbar puncture; an “echo”; physical therapy; occupational therapy and two hours of listening to his music. That was a lot for him. His temp was normal for most of the day, although it did reach 101F…
