Today Taylor woke up in a good mood. She was smiling a lot. She was excited because her whole nursing team was female today and they said that it was going to be a "girl spa day". Mid morning her family met with a team of specialist to determine where Taylor goes from here. They were less than encouraging. The determined that there was only a 1% chance that Taylor would regain any significant movement in her arms and that was the best that the family could hope for. They said that they would train the family in Taylor's care to take her home and that she would not be recommended to go to a rehabilitation facility. The family is asking for a second opinion and wanting to look at rehabilitation options for Taylor. Over the next week outside doctors and rehabilitation facilities will be looking at Taylors material. Later in the afternoon Taylor went for a tour and again visited the outside. She also had pizza today. She was unable to eat the crust but she had the good parts. Later she continued with the "spa day" treatment and got a pedicure.

Hello Taylor-
I am so glad to hear that you had a gril's spa day. I sure your little toes all painted are very cute. Wow, pizza that is great I love pizza, that seems to be the one food that I can't seem to stay away from. I am glad to see that you were able to do a little shopping and buy a christmas ornament. I know that shopping always seems to make me feel better. I had been leaving you all kinds of messages on your other website and now that I have a new one I thought I drop you a note here as well. We would love to have some "Hope for Taylor" buttons to wear in Colusa as well. Let me know how we can get a few. I know that all this is probably really hard for you to completely understand but you have a great dad, mom, and family that will help you through everything. Keep your spirits up. Lots of Love- Kelli

Our prayers are with you!
