Taylor woke up eager to get her surgery out of the way. Her doctor came buy to discuss the surgery with Taylor and her family. She wanted some juice this morning and is unable to have any until after the surgery. Taylor had her own photo shoot this morning. The family was asked if Taylor could be photoed for research purposes and also for the Shriner's magazine. The family was promised that her photos would not end up on any billboards or mass media communications, so they agreed to let Taylor be photographed. Taylor continues to collect little cardboard boxes from each time they suction her. She has collected 23 boxes so far. Sometimes Taylor asks for suction just to collect the little boxes. Taylor is getting used to the nursing staff here at Shriner's however she says that she really misses the great nurses that she had at U.C. Davis. Taylor came out of her surgery today in a great mood. The surgery lasted about 5 hours and the doctors said that everything went perfectly. The pacer implants are functioning as expected. Taylor is unable to eat for about 2 days. Taylor has said that the first thing she wants to eat is pasta with the white sauce. The doctors expect to start using the pacer in about 10 days to two weeks to give Taylor's body time to heal. Once they start weaning her they expect to have her off of the ventilator within 2 weeks.
