Taylor has been transferred back to the ICU at Shriner's. The doctors have not determined the reason that Taylor is not receiving a proper breath with the pacer, so they think that it is best that Taylor remain in the ICU while she remains on the ventilator.
The doctors have replaced Taylor's smaller tracheotomy with a larger cuff trach. The doctor's were concerned that her trach. might be leaking air and that might not be allowing her to get a large enough breath with the pacer. Taylor is still able to talk with her new trach., but just not as easily.
The doctor's plan to start Taylor on the pacer in a couple of days. They are hoping that she responds to her pacer after her diaphragm received a short break from the pacer. If she responds well to the pacer, then the plan is to place Taylor on the pacer during the day and on the ventilator at night.
We will keep everyone up-to-date on Taylor's progress. We appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Hi Talyor,
Hope you're glad spring is finally here. Time for the flowers to start blooming and the trees to get their leaves back.
Try not to worry about being back in the ICU. You're a very strong girl. We're all thinking of you and hoping that things will get back into place so you can go back to your room on the third floor. In the meantime, keep practicing your new words from school.
Lots of love,
