Taylor has been increasing her activity. Tonight she went across the street and had grilled cheese, bread and cake for dinner. Her appetite has recently increased, however she continues to struggle with trying to gain weight and has started to take more feeds through her stomach tube. She needs to keep her weight up to be able to return to Chico in May. Arrangements are being made for her return. Her nurses are coming to the hospital on Thursday to be trained in Taylor's care. She still has had success in breathing all day off of the ventilator with just the assistance of the phrenic pacer.
