Taylor had a good week this week. She continues to ride the bike and she says that she keeps trying to move her arms and legs. She remains confident that if she keeps trying someday they will move. She got more sleep this week which made her days at school better. On Friday she had a birthday arty to go to for her friend Avery. Taylor really loved the fact that she had it at Ben & Jerry's. Her favorite ice cream is vanilla with chocolate syrup. This weekend she went with her family to see the "Bee Movie". She thought that it was hilarious. Taylor said that her favorite part was when Barry became a polinator bee. Her second favorite was when the bees got under the plane and landed it. She continues to try to breath and cough more on her own. Her cough is getting stronger and she needs less assistance from the bag to help her cough. She continues to use it to give her comfort. She likes being on the ventilator and really wants to use it until she gets distracted and is having a good time then she forgets about it. She sat through the whole movie smiling without the need to be bagged or suctioned the whole time. Above is her most recent school picture. A lot has changed in a year in her life but she still has the same great smile.

What a beautiful picture Taylor! It sounds as if you are getting out quite a bit and that you are doing a lot better. And also it is great that you slept well last week!

Keep up the great work on your bike Taylor. It sounds like you have a really positive attitude. Even though it may seem really tough at times, just keep telling yourself, "I can do it!".

Take care,

Summer and Makenzie Moore
