Our Super Trooper Tay!

Well another good day for beaner! We just got back from spending the afternoon with her and with each visit she gets just a little stronger! When we got there around 2:30 pm and her last pain medication had been at 4 am, which you could see that she was hurting and tired so her nurse Rob talked her into at least a Tylenol. She has refused the hard stuff because she doesn't like the way it makes her feel and makes her sleepy. She is still on a little oxygen in her nose but she hates it because it makes her nose tickle. Still has the IVs in but is tolerating clear liquids. They are hoping that tomorrow she will be able to get out of bed at least to go to the bathroom. Dylan had brought her a stuffed horse and she named it after her nurse Rob and then the Miller girls brought her a cow and she named it after her first nurse Beau. She is so funny because she is so tired but wants to visit with everyone and when anyone leaves she tries to give them a hug, even with IVs in each arm. Same Tay through and through!!! Here is a few pics of the afternoon, uncle Tim brought her a ginormous cookie but she is still unable to eat solid foods so we brought it home to put in the freezer and she can have it when she gets home!

Talking to her beloved fans on the phone! The orange tape on her chest is some foam band aids where she got a few scrapes. She also has a baton to the side of her that she twirls in bed, by this afternoon she said she was bored of that, but she is getting pretty good at it!

Baby Steps to coming home!

Mark another milestone of the calender. Tay was moved from ICU to the trauma floor today. Ron and I did not go and see her today being she needs the time to sleep. They offered her a Slush (because they have their own Slush machine how cool is that!), sprite and Utah's favorite jello. She is working hard on deep breathing to get her little bruised lungs to function again. They are keeping her laying in the bed so that her laceration on her liver can heal. We now just sit back with our arms folded and wait for Taylor's body to heal. They have told Ryan and Mandi that it could be a little as 2-3 days before are little beaner is on her way home.

We are BLESSED!!!!!

We are so Blessed, our little Taylor is one of the strongest little 10 year olds that I know! Ron and I spent the day at the hospital, both of us not being able to concentrate at work. We felt like we were needed at the hospital close to Taylor. This little sweet angel is ventilator free, nasal gastric tube free, awake and talking! The Doctors at Primaries is in awww at this little girl they have no explanation of why she is doing so well. We arrived at the hospital around noon. We were able to go right in to see her, her nurse for the day Beau, had just turned off the medication that was keeping her deep sedated and was turning on a Morphine drip. We sat with her until she woke up which was only around ten minutes. I was holding her hand and her eyes opened wide and she looked and me and smiled. She knew where she was and why she was there and was in no pain. The first thing she did was kicked off the blankets on her feet. Ever since she was a new born baby she has hated blankets and always kicked them off so I was not surprised by this at all. She went through all of today mostly awake, communicating on her dry erase board because she was unable to talk with the ventilator still intact. She started to breathe on her own around 1 pm and around 6:30 pm the ventilator was completely removed. The air pockets around her esophagus that they had seen this morning have disappeared. When they did a scan around 5 pm there was no sign of a tear there. Her labs have stayed normal all day so no active bleeding at this time. I told Ron that I could have not done what she is doing. If I woke up on a vent I would asked to be sedated. Not Tay she decided to watch a movie and be with her family! So the pic of her is before she woke up and I was so excited when they took the tube out that I forgot to take a pic but I'll get one tomorrow. We are hoping that tomorrow morning she will be moved out of ICU and onto the floor and then be home in a couple of days! YAY!!!! Thanks for all your prayers I think we have witnessed a miracle.

Pray For Taylor!

Well family and friends we had some bad luck last night. Our sweet Taylor was in an accident on a 4-wheeler. She was flown by life flight to Primary Children's Hospital last night around 7:00 pm. At this time she is stable. She is on a ventilator that is breathing for her, both lungs were severely bruised. She has a couple cracked ribs, a laceration on her liver, x-rays this morning has shown air pockets around her esophagus and around both lungs. They may end up putting a chest tube in to alleviated the air in her lungs. They have un-sedated her to check the neuro part and her head appears to not have a scratch on it, thank goodness for helmet's. When she was awake she was able to move her legs and arms. And being our beaner when they rolled her on her side she tried to do it herself. She is scared and doesn't remember what happened but just needs time and prayers. I will try to keep this updated the best that I can. Thanks to all those who have called and is praying for Taylor.
