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 Ron Stark — Apr 23, 2012 10:18pm Taylor is having a good day today. All of his vital signs are great. He now permanently off of the respirator and they have removed it from his room. His sodium level is down to a normal level for now and the…
By Susie Roemhild — Apr 23, 2012 9:25pm Hello to all you awesome family and friends! Thank you once again for all your prayers for Taylor! Keep up all the wonderful petitions to God as He hears and is answering! Taylor’s Recovery team asked if we could get you all…
By Lisa Ansay — Apr 22, 2012 5:17pm Yep. He woke for a bit today – yawned a couple times, stretched his legs out, lifted his hands to his face and moving all around. Pulled his legs up and sat like that for a while. I know he has to…
By Lisa Ansay — Apr 22, 2012 11:30am Taylor is sitting up in the chair, and has now been completely off the ventilator for the better part of four days. The pulminologist just told me the only reason he still has the vent collar at all is to allow for…
By Lisa Ansay — Apr 21, 2012 7:11pm I just met with the infectious disease doctor who was brought into his medical team early last week. She explained that while the cerebral spinal fluid drawn from yesterday’s lumbar puncture indicated “no organisms present” that would be because of all the…
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…
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…
