I was giveing this thought if i should or shouldent post this but i no you guys and girls care about Taylor as much as me so i will let you no what was posted in another forum we are both on


The doctors said Taylor is suffering from massive internal organ failures. They do NOT know what is causing the failures, but they are searching to find out. They think it might have something to do with Annorexia finally rearing it's ugly head for a grim grand finale. Taylor is on a ventilator, and barely clinging to life. Things are looking pretty bad right now.
Please continue to pray for Taylor. His mom and sister are on their way to Alabama right now. I will post the news as I find out.

The doctors say Taylor is not going to make it through this. They are keeping Taylor as comfortable as possible, and they think it is just a matter of time right now.
He is basicly in a coma. I think God might just need another special angel. I am so so sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news. I will update you all as I know
what is going on

I really hope its ok posting this but how upset i am right now about finding this out i thought you should no about this too i no many of you really like Taylor.

I am still not sure im doing right in posting this though!!!

I think Taylor would want us all to know, so we can all hold him in our prayers. I have no words to say :( This is just so sad to read :(

Thank you for letting us know.

Oh God, this is so sad. Taylor has come so far with everything, physically and mentally, and is finally coming into himself. I can't believe it . . . I'm heartbroken. :brokenheart:

It's too bad none of us is anywhere near Alabama. I feel so useless . . . :sad:

Sares
02-26-2008, 10:28 PM
Oh my God. I'm new enough that I don't really know Taylor, but I've read so many of his posts, and he seems like such a genuinely nice, kind, open, and honest guy. This is awful news. :(

But he's strong -- and where there's strength, there's hope.

Cai

I know - I'd have gone there if I could. Even though they probably wouldn't let me in.

Oh my god. I don't know Taylor personally, but I know he's a good guy, and I like him. I'll be praying for him. :praying:

Even though I know he can't read this right now, I do want to say something in this post to Taylor:

You're strong, Taylor. From your posts alone, I know you've been through a lot, and you've managed it this far. I have faith in you, man. Even though I don't know you personally, I would like to one day - you're an amazing person, I can tell. I hope you can make it through this.

*gives hugs where they're needed*

This is utterly heartbreaking news. :brokenheart: Taylor is one of the strongest people I know, and I desperately want him to be okay. :praying: He is someone that I genuinely care about, I'm really hoping that he pulls through.



I am still not sure im doing right in posting this though!!!

If someone does request you not to, this thread can always be deleted.


is there going to be any way to keep updated on this, Adam?

Here, I'll slap myself because I'm not Adam. :slap: But... you can check Taylor's personal website for updates. (I wont post the URL here 'cause I don't know if he wants it public but you can PM me or whatnot.)


Edit: P.S. C.J., who referred to him in the past tense? I can't see anyone that did that.

02-27-2008, 01:25 AM
Edit: P.S. C.J., who referred to him in the past tense? I can't see anyone that did that.

I re-read the thread, and I'll edit that part out of my post, Zen. I guess I misread the "was doing so well" type comments - it's a little hard to read whenever you have tears blurring your already bad vision.

My apologizes,

- C.J.

Abraxas
02-27-2008, 02:19 AM
Oh god that's terrible. I've been wondering where he's been. :(
He seemed to have been doing so well. Please try to keep us updated; he's in my thoughts.


Zen-- can you PM me the link to his website?

BadassBabyBrother
02-27-2008, 03:25 AM
Man, I feel really sorry for Taylor, people like him shouldn't have to go through this kinda stuff. Yeah, I know, maybe I shouldn't be talking about him like that since I wasn't exactly a friend of his, but he seemed like a good guy, so.... I'll keep him in my mind.


Zen, would you mind PM:ing me the URL?

02-27-2008, 03:33 AM
Just at a loss for words at the moment - Taylor is such a kind and wise soul, he attracted so many from all over just through that alone.

Just pondering and mods can delete/edit:
I wonder if what happened to Gwyn really affected him more than he let on, he never did respond here after that incident.

This is so heartbreaking. I can only hope and pray for Taylor and his family. It is so hard to do anything from a keyboard and monitor aside from that.

Life is so fragile sometimes, this just isn't fair.

kerrianna
02-27-2008, 03:46 AM
:sad: I can't believe this. He seems like such a survivor. This is such sad sad news. He's too sweet and nice to have this happen.

Taylor, we're all praying for you man, you are an inspiration for all of us, so you don't listen to the doctors... you get that body kick started man, you come back to us.... please. :straightface:

Thanks for letting us know Adam.

:rose2: Please.

Kieron Andrew
02-27-2008, 04:17 AM
I feared the worse when i read this title, Taylor has been mentally battling with his weight again for a while now, that nightmare cycle had started all over again...he has always said if something was up he wanted us to know about it...Adam you did right posting this here he will thank you for it....if you get any more information please let us know

Taylor we're all rooting for you buddy, Please come back to us! :(

Ryan

OMG...I have lit Brighid's flame and will be staying up tonight to have some words with the powers that be.....I never met Taylor in person but he is still My brother and this is just horrible :(

I want to ask everyone here to please send Taylor all the love you can - don't focus on the negatives, just think of the Taylor we all know and that should put a smile on your face :) He's a tough cookie, that's for sure - and if we all send him love and positive vibes I know he will know.

Omg!!!! I have been talking to Taylor for almost two years now he is such a great guy so caring and loving and kind. I've always had a soft spot for him. I was so pleased at all the stuff he was doing lately and this talk he was gonna give and everything he was so fired up :sad: I was worried about him when he said his throat was bad and thought this need clearing up quick!! Can't believe it its not really sinking in :( I was in bed when I got the text off Ryan telling me this awful news!! He would want us to know Adam definitely so thanx so much :hugs: I will be sending as much positive energy as I can muster to him, still can't believe it :sad: Please keep us informed Adam, thanx xx Felix :hugs::hugs:

That's very true, they aren't always right.....and Taylor has been through a lot and come through it....He's strong....We just need to keep sending that good energy to him along with our love....and hope for the best.

Emily Ann Brown
02-27-2008, 09:35 AM
I just got on and saw this......OMGosh.....I am speechless.....I counted Taylor a special friend, we have been PM buddies for a while now.

If it needs to be said he is now on my daily prayer list as well.

Come on buddy, you can beat this.

DanielMacBride
02-27-2008, 11:40 AM
I have asked all My friends at Chameleons to spare some positive healing energy and love to send Taylor's way....I can't be there in Alabama but I am sure as hell going to put as much energy as I can into sending healing vibes and love to My brother. I hate feeling so damn useless so I am going to put all My energy into Taylor right now, it's the least I can do for someone who has done so much to help so many of us.

Daniel

Edit: I can't possibly sleep right now, so I am folding origami cranes for Taylor instead.

Taylor posted his website on the forum a while back, it is open to all to see


I was just concerned about his crazy stalker getting the URL in case she'd missed it before.

You know, I think that if the woman is just as psycho as I've lead to believe she is, the damage has already been done a long time ago. 'Sides, the site has good moderators, so I doubt that she can do much to hurt Taylor there.

Lora Olivia

This is terrible news - I'm fairly new here, so I don't know Taylor very well yet, but from the posts I've read he's so obviously a lovely guy.

I dunno what else to say really, except that my thoughts are with him.

While many of us may not ascribe to a particular religion, there is strength in "prayer" regardless of what form that is.

I sincerely ask that everyone who is touched by Taylor to ask others to join them in a prayer circle or chain, asking for our deep wishes for a recovery be granted. They do not need to know him to join in the power this generates, they only need know there is a soul who is in need of support that is beyond our control.

Now I will turn off all electronics and start from that quiet and still place in my own soul to Taylor. Please join me at any time to do the same, the method does not matter.

dont thank just me for doing this there are others that have actually made the videos in the first place please give them the recognition they deserve too :D..i am just passing the word around because i love and respect the little guy more than anyone i can think of, in a short time of knowing him he has had more of an impact on me than any other single person in my life...

And I made an appt today to speak with the campus psychologist - for my food issues. Taylor deserves that much from me. I wish I'd listened sooner, but I'm doing it now.

I'm a little disappointed in myself that it took something this serious to finally get me to face dealing with my problems. But at least I'm doing it.

02-27-2008, 07:41 PM
I sit here and read these posts and do not know what to say. I miss Taylor and wish he was on right know so we could tease him about being so young looking or about his posting so many pictures or hell anything but this.

Kieron Andrew
02-27-2008, 07:45 PM
Thanks Kieron.

I'm a little disappointed in myself that it took something this serious to finally get me to face dealing with my problems. But at least I'm doing it.

its only you being human Cai, many of us dont do things we are told or advised unless under pressure!!....it was Taylor that made me get off my ass and make an appointment for Gender Counselling for Friday, unbeknown to him, then when i read the first post here, it makes me want to follow through with it even more

Right im no good to Taylor being exhausted so i am definitely off to bed now even though i dont want to...

Cai
02-27-2008, 08:04 PM
Yeah, Kieron - try to get some sleep. You're not going to help him by sitting here. I had to convince myself of that to get to classes this morning, but it's true.

Nicole Erin
02-27-2008, 08:23 PM
Taylor is still pretty young and is strong. I have a feeling he will pull this.
Soon he will be hanging out with us again. :)

Upon his return, he will be glad to see there are so many folks here who are thinking of him.

Christy on Taylor's home site posted late this evening that they smuggled in Taylor's dog to the hospital and guided his hand to pat him, and a few tears rolled down Taylor's cheeks.

If he thinks he can slip away quietly he's got another think coming. We're not ready to let him go.


My wish is that Taylor can feel this huge hand of support and love that we reach out to him and know that it's safe for him to stay, that he's got a place in the world and in our hearts.

I know Taylor is close to God, so I humbly ask God to please not take him to your side yet. There is so much good he can do for this hurting world. He is needed here. Please, God.

Hi Kez, thanks for this, i just checked for updates myself and saw the same post so i will copy & paste what was said, it did bring a tear but a small mischievious smile to my face to think he is still with us :D


I just got off the phone, and I have a small, but hopeful update for you all tonight. Craig took Taylor's Cabbage Patch Kid Zack to the hospital last night to be with Taylor. This afternoon, one of Taylor's nurses conspired with Taylor's sister Denise, and Angie- and they snuck Dew (Taylor's dog) in to see him. Angie guided Taylors hand and helped him pet Dew. Craig said that a few tears rolled down Taylor's cheek!!!
Please keep all of the prayers and thoughts coming folks! Taylor and his entire family thank you all for all of your prayers and support.

Hugs- Christy

Come on Taylor you can do this, Dew wants his Pop back with him! and we want our boy back!

Aw man... I leave here for a day and come back to this. This is absolutely horrible. I know I haven't been here very long but I have a routine where I join a forum (which I plan on staying at for a while), I dig through the really older posts so I can get to know the personalities of the people... and man... Taylor was such a strong guy. He doesn't deserve this...

It's been a while since I last prayed, but I'll make sure to send some prayers to Taylor tonight and ask God to send some of the fortune he's been giving to me all my life his way.

SirTrey
02-28-2008, 08:50 AM
Below is the latest update from Taylor's site....Keep those good thoughts, prayers, and positive energy going....I will keep an eye on the site and if there are any more updates, I will post them...**Trey**


Hi everybody,
Angie here. I'm in AL. right now and wanted to give you an update. Taylor is not doing well. Of course we haven't given up hope and are praying for a miracle of sorts.
Taylor is very swollen and the kidneys are not producing urine. There is a respirator to give breaths...sometimes Taylor is breathing over the machine.
There seems to be some reactions sometimes....definitely a response to Dew and other things that are said. We are waiting for results from a second EEG they took recently to see how much brain activity is present. I believe there is something going on in there since there are responses sometimes but we don't know how much. The doctor said it's too early to tell how this may go. It's important to keep the prayers going.

We are all surrounding Taylor with much love and speaking words of comfort and affirmation. Many of her family are here as well as close personal friends. I know all of you are hurting too and your hearts are with us here in AL. We really need the strength of your prayers right now. This is painstakingly difficult.
I'm personally praying that God's will be done. As much as we want Taylor to live, I certainly don't want to see a compromised life...Taylor as a vegetable is not acceptable.
This is very heartbreaking and so sad to see this but I take comfort in knowing that Taylor may be at peace soon. There has been alot of pain he's had to deal with in life. I believe this was accidental and not intentional.
Thank you all for your prayers, support and concern. I will try and check back with you later. I'm staying here at the apartment with Craig. God be with each of you and give you peace.
Angie

Another update from Angie on Taylor's site.....

Suzy, I will give the message that you send your love as well as the other friends here on this site. I do believe Taylor can hear and as I mentioned is sometimes responsive facially.
We brought Dew up yesterday and placed his hand on Dew's body. Wow, did the face ever contort! that made us all smile.
Thanks for your prayers and love!

Thanks for the update, Trey. At least we have a little more info on what's going on with him physically. The news about the doggy is encouraging - there's a bit of hope that there's brain activity. Hope is good.

Hang in there, Taylor. :Pray:

Taylor, I remember when you very first joined the forum and I thought you were underage ;) I couldn't believe your age lol... You've grown into a lovely young man and gone through so much in your life, today, is not the day you're giving up, nor tomorrow, or the next day, or the next year. You have so much fight in you, so much strength, courage and love, are you ready to give those up?

I don't pray to be honest, but today I pray through my tears, pray that you come back to us. You're a fighter, you must NOT give up, we, your family here, will not give up on you, come back to us Taylor, as much as you need us, we need you too :hugs:

All my love

Taylor, you are My brother and I have so much admiration and respect for you - you are one of the most beautiful people I know and always willing to share your experiences to help others. You inspire Me to stay true to who I am when things get rough, and now I have My specialist's appointment next week so am likely to be approved for T and will be starting soon, and I will be thinking of you the whole time, bro. You are one of the most tenacious fighters I have ever met, you never let things beat you - everyone here on the board misses you and is praying for you and sending you love and healing energy. I have a flame vigil going here for you and am folding as many paper cranes as I can (if you have heard the story of Sadako and the thousand paper cranes you will know that cranes symbolise honour and loyalty - 2 qualities I think you have in spades - and that the Japanese believe that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, your wish for good health will be granted. So I will give it My best shot to make a thousand for you).

I know your work here is not done yet, My brother - hang in there and I will keep you in My thoughts and prayers (and My origami LOL).

Love you bro,

Daniel

Update from Angie on Taylor's site:


Do you know I told Taylor that his many friends online miss him, love him and are praying for him? There was a facial reaction when I mentioned you all to him (I tried to remember as many names as I could). I know how much Taylor cares about all of you. So very much!
We are not seeing too much change other than the swollenness is a bit worse since there is no kidney action. There is still some responses such as head moving and facial reactions (sometimes coughing and gagging on the tube down his throat).

Abraxas
02-28-2008, 05:53 PM
Hey Taylor buddy. I've been thinking about you constantly, reading the websites as often as I can for updates.
You can do this, bro. Human beings are incredibly strong when they want to be and, as transpeople, we're forced to be stronger than most. So don't give up; you can pull through this.
We miss you, and we want your ass back here!
Love you bro,
Benny

Update...I heard back from Taylor's Mom and she sent Me the address to send Matthew Cruz to him....which I am doing tomorrow....I am going to FedEx it (overnight) to his roommate, Craig, so that they can get it to him as soon as possible....Also, I am printing out the entire thread as we speak and am also going to enclose that along with the doll....He's hanging in there....He's one strong guy!!

Taylor has been in my thoughts all day and not being able to check up on how he was doing was maddening. Glad to hear there have been some positive signs and so happy they got one of his doggies into see them.

Taylor, my bro,

It's heartbreaking to hear of you being in so much pain, so ill. I pray for comfort for you, for a relief to it is what you are enduring, and for the strength to overcome it. You are in my thoughts and prayers and you cross my mind a million times a day. Someone once said this to me and it meant a great deal to me to hear it so I want to say it to you in case you need to hear it. No matter how scared and alone we all feel some times in this world, someone is thinking about you and cares. I think all of your brothers and sisters here are thinking about you, worrying about you, and praying for you. We are here, and we care. Peace and love.

Tristan

Glad to hear that there's been some positive signs, and I laughed out loud when I heard that they snuck Dew in. But I'm with Tristan - having so much to do when all I want to do is check in and see how Taylor's doing is really frustrating. Thanks for letting us all know.

I know. God, do I know. I'm trying to go through the motions of my life, because I'm not doing anyone any good sitting here, refreshing my internet browser.

Taylor, bud, you need to get better. If only for the sake of my grades. :p

Keep checking here often as well, very good to hear he loved having Dew snuck in to see him.

Hope Taylor knows there are so many of us he has touched our lives in one way or another, he never hesitated to respond to a post or PM. Taylor is just that kind of giving soul.
Now to give some of that back so he can regain his own strength to fight.

I can't stop thinking about Taylor. I've viewed this thread I don't know how many times in the last 20 minutes.

I haven't been a member here for very long and I don't even know Taylor personally, but I can feel him and know him through the way I'm feeling, if that makes sense. I know he's a good person - if he wasn't I doubt I would be feeling such strong and incredible raw emotion right now.

Hi everyone! I talked to Craig a bit ago, and he wanted me to give you ALL a message. He said that he would be more than happy to print out personal messages and pictures for Taylor if you email them to him. He also said if anyone wanted to make video messages for Taylor and his family, and post them on YouTube (and email the link to him) he would be happy to share the messages. Again, Thank you ALL so much for all of the prayers and well wishes for Taylor!!
Hugs- Christy
Craig's email address follows. craig2536@gmail.com

Angie's latest update......

Hi,

Just wanted to touch base with everyone. There haven't been too many changes. They are getting more restrictive with enforcing visiting hours so we can only go up for 30 minutes at a time at certain hours. Taylor still looks pretty bad but since we are getting some responses occasionally we haven't given up hope. Please keep all the prayers going. I know our Father will do what's best for our beloved Taylor. Thanks for being there! Christy, I appreciate your support and all you're doing for Taylor to spread the word. And the rest of you who are praying, sending emails, flowers, gifts, etc. You are very special and if Taylor were awake would be moved to tears. Last night Craig read some of the email messages to Taylor. Hugs to you all.

Another update from Taylor's site:

We got some signs of hope today, everybody. It's too soon to tell about recovery but Taylor opened eyes today and was blinking... ALOT. Family was present and there seems to be more awareness such as choking and gagging on the tube. But the eyes were a BIG deal since they haven't been moving since admittance. They are doing dialysis today to expel toxins from the body so hopefully that will help a little.
We continue to pray and hope for the best! The EEG shows more brain activity than yesterday. The good news.... Taylor is NOT brain dead.

Please, keep prayers going and thanks so much for your support. Taylor is still VERY critical and they are still giving a poor prognosis, but to finally see some signs of life is a real encouragement.

Sometimes when I don't know what to say I say nothing....well I still don't know what to say but I feel like I need him to know I'm pulling for him. And I care about him as a fellow brother and want him well really ,really soon. I miss him. What else can I say but I love ya, man! Hang in there!

My hope is there are still a great many people from all over that are sending healing vibrations to Taylor. It must be working since Taylor has gone from [sic]"probably won't make it through the night" to "his eyes are blinking, EEG shows more brain activity".
:jumping:

Now for his body to heal as his brain has, sometimes it takes awhile but not impossible.
One thing to share: Feb 19, 1979 I was in the same place Taylor is. After defying every super doctor, surgeon and specialist they admitted something rather profound.

"We tend to stay guarded because we've seen this pattern before, like 70% chance of rain. It's like being a weather man - the possibility of rain because clouds are present then the sun breaks through and its nice out instead. We have to admit most of this is beyond what we do - it is up to the patient and something greater than us that keeps us being weather forecasters."

I've always kept that close and it gives me hope in what seems like the most dire cirumstances. Hope it does for Taylor and all who continue to keep him in positive thoughts.

Peace

Ran across this today at random, and I thought it was fitting.


Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Doctors sometimes are the dumbiest people.....my daughter was given less than 4 months with cancer.....when she dies 14 months later she was cancer free.

Taylor my sweetie.....GF and I are both holding you up before the Father daily. Show those doctors what kind of man they're dealing with !!!

I made a video for Taylor. It's me playing 'If We Hold on Together.'
Would someone mind passing it along for me? I'm not sure who/where to send it to...

I hope the video works...
It works, and it sounds great, Benny. Very uplifting. :thumbsup: :hugs:

Y'know, I've been silently reading this, as I don't know Taylor, but from where I stand, this just goes to show that good things do happen for those that truly deserve them. I have been, and will continue to keep Taylor in my thoughts until he's back out of that hospital bed and back up and around.

Another update from Taylor's site:

We got some signs of hope today, everybody. It's too soon to tell about recovery but Taylor opened eyes today and was blinking... ALOT. Family was present and there seems to be more awareness such as choking and gagging on the tube. But the eyes were a BIG deal since they haven't been moving since admittance. They are doing dialysis today to expel toxins from the body so hopefully that will help a little.
We continue to pray and hope for the best! The EEG shows more brain activity than yesterday. The good news.... Taylor is NOT brain dead.

Please, keep prayers going and thanks so much for your support. Taylor is still VERY critical and they are still giving a poor prognosis, but to finally see some signs of life is a real encouragement.

I'm not good with words so

I haven't been a member long but from what I've read Taylor is a treasure to know and have in your life. I wish I had been able to actually "speak" to him but hopefully I will still have the chance. I use my morning rituals to pray for his swift recovery and even my mom who's as religious as they come has asked people in her church to pray for him as well. Get well soon Taylor.

02-29-2008, 10:42 PM
OMG I am sitting here with tears of joy just running down My face for Taylor...I knew he would fight this!!! It's going to be a long hard road for him to recover but I KNOW he can do this and to see any kind of improvement like the last update within such a short time just proves that Taylor is a tough lil cookie and is not going to give up easily.

I am SO proud of My little brother for fighting so hard and am absolutely ECSTATIC that there are signs of life....I am still folding paper cranes and still in constant prayer that he will continue to improve, but the latest update tells Me our love and prayers are working and that Taylor is drawing on all that loving energy to help him get through this.

Daniel (off to do a short ritual of EXTREME gratitude for the latest news before resuming regular programming of prayer and origami!!!!) :D :D :D

Go Taylor! Keep fighting, buddy!

The news that he has been responding to the names of friends and to his dog, and that he has opened his eyes and blinked, is very good news indeed. It means that no matter what happens, right now he's most likely very much aware of how much he is loved. No wonder he's fighting so hard.

I will continue to log in as often as possible to find out any news at all, so far the positive collective is working - WE can't give up and let anything make us stop a couple of times a day to send healing vibrations and prayers to Taylor.

For anyone who knows of a prayer chain please contact them and ask for their help. They do not care who it is for, they only care one of G-d's children is in need of help. I'll try to contact one of the Tribal Elders this weekend the - entire tribe participates in a collective healing energy celebration for Taylor.
Tis an amazing thing to be sure, we can't stop and let Taylor down.

Angie just posted this everyone.....he got Matthew Cruz :D


Taylor looks a little less puffy today due to dialysis. We were happy to see that when we came in today. They said dialysis causes a great deal of weariness so we're keeping that in mind.
Taylor rec'd a Cabbie today, so cute! We took it out of the box and described how it looked and then let Taylor feel the baby. I also put it up to the nose since the new ones smell like baby powder.
Thanks for sending it! Not much more to report on. We're still hoping for a miracle.....keep the prayers going.

SirTrey
03-01-2008, 04:26 PM
Oh, good, I'm glad to hear that Taylor has Matthew....:) I knew he was supposed to be there before three today, but it's always good to hear when you ship something that it actually GOT there...Good, now I can stop worrying about tracking it.....LOL He will be quite the souvenir of all of this when Taylor is better...and he IS going to get better...I believe that and I know you all do, too!

Hey!!! Awesome news!!! Angie just posted this on Taylor's site!!! And I am THRILLED to post it!!!! YAAAAAAYYY!!!!



Taylor is responding today! Yipeeeee! His eyes were opening and he was responding to yes and no questions with the head. He even tried to reach his hand over to mom to give a hug. Definitely alot of awareness going on.
Neesy and Andrew seem to be evoking alot of emotion and response so that is wonderful! We are so encouraged by this turn of events. Please keep praying though because he is very weak and still needing dialysis. Also, still has the breathing tube so not out of the woods yet! But, we're just so happy to see eyes moving and answering to direct questions by moving the head.
Thank you all so much for your continuing prayers. Our Heavenly Father is indeed very merciful and powerful.

Hugs! I'm so happy I feel like doing a little jig around the apartment!

More good news :bg:...


Taylor was really communicating with us last visit. He is very uncomfortable with the respirator tube and wants it out NOW but it can't be taken out just yet. Hopefully they will pull it in the next couple of days.
Taylor is alert and responding well to our questions. Just needs to hang in there with the tube though. It is not too pleasant. We are all really happy today and so relieved! It's been a long, grueling, anxiety ridden week! But hopefully things will keep getting better from here on out.
