Taylor has had many things happen since the last time we updated you. Her pacer machine started to malfunction and she had to be placed back on the ventilator. This caused a great deal of anxiety for Taylor. She did not like being on the vent. She did not sleep well because of it. Now she has a new pacing machine back and is in a great mood. Taylor has continued to get more sensation back. She is still unable to move her arms but is feeling clear to the tips of her fingers. She is now able to tell you which finger you are squeezing. Doctors caution that this is no indication of movement in the future but they say it is still a positive sign never the less. It is something that can proceed movement. The family continues to work with Taylor each day and help her to recuperate. She is enjoying talking to friends and family on her new computer. She is excited to get the bike and start more intensive rehab.

Hello Taylor-

We are sad to hear that you had a rough couple of days however, it looks as if things are getting better. We are so glad that you are getting sensation all the way down to your finger tips that's awesome!! Keep working hard on all your exercise and before too long you will be able to prove all the doctors wrong and actually be moving your arms and fingers. We are happy to see that through all this you are still in a good mood, I know that's probably hard to do at times but it will all pay off in the long run. Have a great night, sleep tight and sweet dreams. Lots of love, hugs, kisses, and prayers.

Love-
Andy and Kelli Garcia- Colusa

Hey Taylor,

I'm so excited to hear that your able to feel your fingers! I'm glad they got your pacer fixed so soon, I know you don't like that ole ventilator. I've heard that there is going to be a dinner in Gridley in your honor, I can't wait. We live in Biggs, so we will definately be there.

Have a great weekend and hopefully you can get out and about in your chair a little bit. Take care and we will keep you in our prayers.

Love
Stacey, Jeromy, Jessica and Katy Sannar
