Taylor had a great morning. She got an early morning visit from a friend of the family from Elk Grove. Also today the doctors changed her trach to a different one that allows her to talk easier. She was able to talk before but only on a limited basis. Now she is talking easily and all of the time. The family told the doctors they might want to keep the other trach handy because Taylor can really talk a lot and they might want to reinstall the one that quiets her down. Taylor was very excited to have the ability to talk and she had her first real conversation over the phone since the accident today. She continued her muscle stimulation and exercises with the physical therapy doctors. Taylor called it an early night tonight because she slept very little last night.

Hello Taylor-

Yeah, I am so glad that you are able to talk on your own, without any problems. I believe that it must run in the family to be able to talk non-stop. I'm sure you were so excited to have your first real conversation on the phone. We are so proud of you and all that you continue to accomplish each day. Keep up the great work. Sweet dreams!! Lots of love, hugs, kisses, and prayers.

Love-
Andy & Kelli Garcia- Colusa

Hi Taylor,

I am so glad that you are talking so much easier now! You must be thrilled. I know that you have a lot to talk about. Playing the "quiet game" for two months is pretty hard. You will have to ask Leah about the "quiet game". It never was her favorite. I hope you have sweet dreems tonight, and we will be back down to see you soon.

Lots of Love,
Auntie Shelley
