Taylor has had another frustrating day on the ventilator. She is unable to get big enough breaths into her lungs. Doctors still are unable to find a solution. One thing that they are trying is to relax the muscles around the lungs feeling that is what is not allowing the lungs to expand fully. Due to the fact that she is on the ventilator she is not allowed to leave her room. Taylor was not able to ride the bike today because of this. She also missed going to school because she was getting fitted for a new electric wheelchair that she can control with her head. She did not like it and preferred being pushed in the stroller. Taylor has remainded confident that she will ride her horse again and keeps watching "Flicka" and playing the horse game on her computer. She said "They also did not think that she would cough again and now she is doing that on her own".
