Update 04/16/12
By Ron Stark — May 16, 2012 11:21pm Taylor had an up and down day today with more ups than downs. Instead of complete up days and complete down days it was nice to see him bounce back from not so good to a great day in a matter of…
Day: September 11, 2015
Transition
By Lisa Ansay — May 16, 2012 12:04am Taylor has been moved to a “patient floor” in the neuroscience tower, where he will receive his ST, OT, PT and RT, until his endurance allows for 3 hours a day/7 days a week. His body is getting stronger, and he took a…
Update 04/14/12
By Ron Stark — May 14, 2012 9:54pm Today Taylor had a surgery to relieve fluids in his head. It is called a V.P. Shunt that is a permanent tube that runs from the brain through his soft tissue and into his stomach. This will control the amount of CSF…
Mother’s Day
By Lisa Ansay — May 14, 2012 12:09am Today was a really great day. Taylor is fighting hard for every inch of his recovery and I have never been more proud of him. What an incredible man.
Plastic Surgery
By Lisa Ansay — May 13, 2012 6:46am Back on April 3rd (Flagstaff ICU) Taylor had plastic surgery to repair and stabilize fractures. When inflammation subsided, the devices used to secure his jaw became loose and Taylor was able to move his jaw a bit. Taylor arrived at St. Joseph’s on April 13th, and within…
do re mi fa so la ti do
By Lisa Ansay — May 12, 2012 10:45am Taylor has been awake during the day for the past few. He has PT/OT in the mornings and yesterday he did stand, with a little help from his team. And then he wanted to do it again! He is a fighter, for sure.…
Update 05/11/12
By Ron Stark — May 11, 2012 12:07am Taylor’s vital signs have been excellent.! He has recently had short times of very coherent memory that is very encouraging, not only to us but I am sure to him also. Yesterday I told him I would be behind him on the…
Chillaxin’!
By Lisa Ansay — May 9, 2012 5:03pm This is how his room is set up for watching Netflix or movies or whatever else. The televisions in the rooms are WAY up high on the wall next to the tall ceilings. Tough to see anyway since they are maybe 22″ers.…
The low-down
By Lisa Ansay — May 8, 2012 9:21pm Taylor has several teams actively involved in his treatment and recovery: neorosurgical; critical care; infectious disease; endocrinology; respiratory; physical therapy; speech and occupational therapy. The only teams that have not visited him at least daily since he has been in ICU are the speech,…
Update 05/07/12
By Lisa Ansay — May 7, 2012 1:24am Sodium levels were high through the night, so by morning Taylor was not responsive – and vitals were unstable. Even the vitals that were typically rock solid were faltering, and T was struggling. It seems there was a loss in translation between the…
