Update November 21, 2006

Taylor has been very alert the past two days. She has been awake most of the day. Lots of family have come to keep her company. Tammy and Carolyn have been reading books to her and she has been requesting to watch the movie Babe.

The doctors are recommending that Taylor get a tracheotomy in order to remove the tubes from her mouth. This will also help to prevent pneumonia and other respiratory infections. It's looking like the surgery to install the tracheotomy will happen on Monday. Taylor will still need assistance from a ventilator in order to help her breath until the doctors are sure that she can breath on her own.

We wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving!

Sweet Taylor,
We knew your mommy from school. She is the best mom in the world and person. I know you are a part of your mommy and what she stands for and that is strength, determination and love for life. All of us are thinking of you: The Radke's, The Hellenthal's and The Larsen's. We all love you and are praying for you. xxoo

Dear Taylor,
You probably don't remember meeting me; but I remember you. I am a very good friend of your Aunt Melissa and my daughter, Jenny was a classmate and friend to your Mommy. And, I had a very special relationship with your great grandpa, Jim & great grandma, Nadine when I sold their home in Woodland. So, you see I have been a part of your loving family for a long time.
I want to wish you a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And, I want you to be the first to know that you will be a part of our prayers and blessings at our Thanksgiving Dinner Table this year.
My love to you and I hope you get better real soon.
Love,
Kay
P.S. Do you have a favorite book that you would like? Tell Presley what it is and maybe we can pick it out for you.

Taylor,

A big Hi from Wills and Grace from Funny Frogs! We have been talking about you and sending so many hugs your way!

I love the part in Babe where they make a mess in the house, so funny! What other movies have you been watching, I wonder? Any other movies that you may want? Let us know and we will be sure to look around and get them to you.

Much love,
The Daverson Family

P.S. Tammy- We were stunned.

We continue to send positive thoughts to the universe and specifically to you and Taylor. I was thrilled to hear that Taylor is alert and able to communicate and that you have been able to be at her side throughout. Please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything we can do...
