Taylor seems to be enjoying her school break. Her days are still filled with plenty of work, riding her bike, keeping her brother busy helping her to work on her computer at home, thinking of things she wants to get people for Christmas and thinking of things people can give her for Christmas. Always the thinker. She had one more person trained in her care last week so that she can go visit them by herself. She was extremely helpful and thoughtful during the training process. In order for her to be able to visit with someone without her mom, dad or nurse along the person needs to be trained to change her trach in the case of an emergency. This is a procedure Taylor has done on a scheduled basis every couple of weeeks and during this change a new person was broken in. At the end Taylor reassured them that they had done a great job. She also told them that she could tell they were nervous so she purposely didn't tense up to help them out. Who is the grownup here anyway??? What a great trooper. I've known it all along but she just keeps reaffirming the fact. Taylor wants to wish everyone a VERY, MERRY CHRISTMAS and Thank all of you again for your thoughts and prayers and especially thank you for all the spiritual and verbal HUGS!!!! Her strength is amazing and our hopes for her are strong. Thank you all!!!
