The Respiratory Therapist tried this morning to get Taylor to talk again, but he wasn't able to quite master it. It is a little tricky, and Taylor was pretty tired, so they'll try it again tomorrow. They'll try the test to see if he can swallow later today.
This morning Taylor was really trying to tell us something, but just couldn't get it out. He pulled the pen from my pocket and I put paper on a clipboard. Using his left hand (he's right handed) he wrote "sleeping pill". I asked if he had tried to sleep but couldn't and he nodded "yes". A few moments later, he took the pen again and wrote "cold". A blanket solved that problem. Adavan solved the can't go to sleep problem.

Taylor has rested most of the afternoon. He's had a rough couple of days, so he really needs it now. The Respiratory Therapist will again try tomorrow to see if he can swallow liquids.
Earlier today, I posted some information about a ticket Lauren got today while en route to the hospital. Her mother was in the seat next to her while Lauren sat at a red light and finished putting on her eyeliner. Once traffic moved, one of Bartow's finest stopped her and gave her a Careless Driving ticket. Strange. If you're stopped at a red light, how can you be "driving"? More importantly, does anyone in their right mind think Taylor's mother would let Lauren drive in traffic putting on eyeliner while en route to visit a child critically injured in a traffic accident?
Later, some anonymous Moron posted a Comment defending the Officer. How bizarre is THAT? On the other hand, I guess I should be touched that whoever the Simpleton is, he/she is checking on Taylor's progress.

So, at the risk of inciting others to make negative comments I deleted his/her comment and my response to him. It's MY sandbox, so I get to make the rules here!!
If you're interested in my original post, email me at alsmith@gate.net and I'll send it to you.....IF I know who you are.
Geez....who would have thought that I'd have to deal with an Anonymous Stalker here? Thanks for the love. Weird.
