Taylor has enjoyed the break from school. She continues to keep a busy schedule with therapy and other necessary activities. She enjoyes her time in the pool. It has been a nice break from the hot summer. She has continued to have a strong appetite. All is contributing to her health. She has had fun watching her brother play the wii and baseball. She is still his big sister telling him what to do. Even when he doesn't take direction well. She has made it a goal of hers to work towards having the ability to remove her trach and only rely on her pacer to breath. Although she continues to use the ventilator at night she has been making improvements and becoming less dependent on it.
