Taylor had a good day today. She is adjusting to her new surroundings and her new nurses. She is handling the move and adjustments with the same remarkably wonderful attitude as she has dealt with everything else during this entire ordeal. Her new room is MUCH bigger than her old one. Taylor's room is currently in the Burn ICU unit at the hospital. This is due to the fact that they have more staff that is capable of handling the ventilator. Currently she can not have visits from children. The hospital does not want any outside kids in the burn unit. Taylor's family is hopeful that she will be out of the burn unit within a month so that Taylor's friends may visit her again. She is on the fourth floor at Shriners which gives her a bird's eye view of her ex-hospital. She has a huge picture window looking out toward UCD Med Center. She got in her chair a couple of times today but she is confined to her room because of the VRE bacteria that she has. They will test her again soon to see if she is still carrying the bacteria or not. If she tests clean then she will be able to get out and around more but for now she has to travel within her own room. She had a much better appetite this evening. She ate almost all of her green beans, some of the french bread and some of the honey dew melon that came with her dinner. Shriners doesn't have the internet so she isn't able to do any surfing or checking of her e mails for a couple of days but the first of the week we plan to have that problem remedied and she'll be back to browsing again. On Monday she is scheduled to have the phrenic pacer put in and the doctors expect her to be a little sore and quiet for a few days after the surgery. When she is healed up from the surgery they plan to start her with a little more physical therapy and hopefully she will be able to be off of the ventilator for longer periods of time each day. She has to be gradually weaned from the ventilator.
