Sorry it has been some time since the last update. Our family has settled into our daily routine and unfortunatly sometimes we forget the website. We are well aware that you still like to get updates on Taylor and know how she is doing. We will continue to update Taylor's site periodicaly.

She continues to do well. She is requiring less breathing treatments throughout the day. Her anxiety is less and less each day. She is getting closer and closer to the start of school. She will start on August 20th at her old school. She enjoyes sitting on the porch and watching cars go by and taking naps in the sun. Her brother Tanner is a constant source of entertainment for her and is always there to help her out. She is getting more comfortable letting him help. She is getting better on the go and is getting out on trips more.

Taylor has been continuing to work to get better. She is on her bike everyday and she does all that is asked of her by her family and nurses. She continues to have sensation throughout her body. We are hopeful that that turns into some movement in the future. Her spasms have been getting better. She is having less of them and is getting to where she can feel them coming.

She had a great Christmas and got many nice gifts. The neighborhood put up lights to allow Taylor to have Christmas in July.

She is getting easier at going through her day to day activities and has liked being close to her horses. She got to see them last weekend and feed them cookies. She supervised the braiding of their mane and tails. She wanted to make sure they were done right. She continues to read your comments on the blog and through emails. She has been sporadic at viewing them and responding. She enjoys them.

Taylor has been doing well in her day to day activities. She celebrated Christmas last Sunday. She enjoyed her presents and she felt that it was long overdue. Her Brother also had his birthday this week and is now 3 years old. She still thinks he is crazy. Taylor's color is looking better the more that she gets out and she is asking to be bagged and suctioned less now. Yesterday she showed some improvements in her ability to use the muscles in her stomach. She was able to lift her head and shoulders off of her bed using her stomach muscles. She continues to ride her bike and work hard to try to improve and get better.
