Taylor has been increasing her activity. Tonight she went across the street and had grilled cheese, bread and cake for dinner. Her appetite has recently increased, however she continues to struggle with trying to gain weight and has started to take more feeds through her stomach tube. She needs to keep her weight up to be able to return to Chico in May. Arrangements are being made for her return. Her nurses are coming to the hospital on Thursday to be trained in Taylor's care. She still has had success in breathing all day off of the ventilator with just the assistance of the phrenic pacer.

Taylor,
We are so glad to hear that you get to leave the hospital for a meal.
It must be nice just to get out in the fresh air and soak up the sun.
You must be getting anxious to come home. Hope everything goes alright so that happens REAL SOON. It is great to hear that you are not having any problems with you pacer We think of you daily and keep you in our prayers. Love, Boomer & JoAnne

Hello Taylor-

We are very excited to hear that you are still doing so well and making regular visit out of your room for meals. I love grill cheese, I think that I could eat that everyday for at least one meal. We are sure you are counting down the days until you are able to return home. Don't forget that you have to keep working really hard on all your school work and your exercises until then. These will help you to be even stronger when you get home. Hopefully you will be able to see your horse soon as well. Have a great day, and sweet dreams. Lots of love, hugs, kisses, and prayers.

Love-
Andy & Kelli Garcia- Colusa

Hi Taylor

Sounds like you have been a busy girl. I very glad your able to get out and about. When I was a kid a grilled cheese was my favorite! I still eat a lot of them today! Of course chocolate cake is always a treat. How exciting that you'll be going home soon.

It's been so windy here lately and I can't quit sneezing, yuck. Hope you have a great week and keep up with all your hard work, you are doing great. Take care.
Love Stacey, Jeromy, Jessica and Katy Sannar

Howdy Taylor,
I am soooo very excited to know that you get to eat out now. You must be getting stronger every day. That means you must be working harder every day too.
So which horse of yours is Grama Judy going to bring down to see you? Let me guess....Is it Lady? or....maybe Coco?....How about Blackie? Which ever one it is I'm sure they will be glad to see you.
Larry has been very busy planting the rice. But as soon as things slow down we will be down to see you again.
Would you like me to bring you some cookies? What kind is your favorite? You name it and I'll bake it :)
We love you very much,
Hug-a-Loves, Larry & Charlene
