We want to thank everyone for their uplifting e-mails and blog comments. A binder containing all of your e-mails and comments has been made and will be read to Taylor as she recovers.
We would also like to thank our friends that have worked hard to set up the Taylor Hope Fund and organize the Pizza Night/Bake Sale Fundraiser. Information on Taylor's Fund and the upcoming fundraiser can be found on the right side of this website under "How to Help."
Many of you have asked where to send mail for Taylor. Taylor can receive mail at the UC Davis Pediatric ICU. The address is located on the right side of this website under " Taylor's Address."
Taylor has been doing well. She is very alert and is mouthing non-stop to her family. She has started physical therapy. They are starting with upper body work, moving her arms and shoulders. The physical therapist said that Taylor is a great patient. The feeding tube into her stomach has healed, so yesterday they started feeding her. Food is very important to her recovery.

Hi Taylor!
You do not know us, but my little girl Makenzie is in Mrs. Shockley's afternoon class. Makenzie heard about what happened to you and your mommy and she is very concerned. We told her that you are doing well and that you are so brave! If there is anything Makenzie can do for you, she says she would like to help.
Let us know if there is a special movie you would like, or some music to listen to. We hope to meet you soon!

Taylor,
I’m sending this to let you know
I think of you each day,
And pray for your recovery,
Hoping soon you’ll be okay.
You’re going through a lot right now;
You’re treatments can be trying;
Remember while you do them
It’s your problem you’re defying.
Hold on to your positive attitude,
And when things get hard to bear,
Know that friends here for you;
Remember that people care.
And when you’re well and flourishing,
Look back and realize,
You learned what you were made of;
That’s a reward that satisfies!
I believe in you!

Hi! We're from the bulldog message board. I told my bulldog Maybull about you and she wagged her tail,and when Maybull wags her short little tail, her whole behind wiggles. Her wag is her way of saying that she cares about you. So do we. Hang in there and get better soon.
Stephanie, David and Maybull
Taylor,
You don't know us, but we want you to get better quickly, what happened was really terrible, but you are a strong little girl and can do this. It's a long journey but you have people all over the country pulling for you...

Dear Taylor,
My name is Chopper and I'm a bulldog that heard about a special girl named Taylor. I hope that someone can share with you a picture of me and my friends at the following link http://static.flickr.com/61/172987509_6cc29f2976_b.jpg (I'm the cute one on the left). This summer I was in the UC Davis Veterinary Hospital and had to have a tracheostomy. The good doctors and the prayers from family and friends helped me though that difficult time and I eventually got to go home and enjoy the party in the picture. Now I'm as good as new and I am praying that you can go home soon too.
