Surgery Cancelled

7:51am

The surgery scheduled for this morning won't happen after all. Taylor woke up with a 102 degree fever, so he'll rest today instead. We're not sure when it will be rescheduled, but Taylor is not happy that there will be a delay.

Last night, central Florida had some pretty strong thunderstorms. Taylor woke up in the night and told his mother that he was scared about the surgery. He then asked her to open the window blinds so he could watch the rain.

Now that he's off medications that kept him fairly unaware of his surroundings, he wants to know everything that is being done to him.

Taylor has had a very rough day - probably the worst we've seen since March 6th. He was doing so well, then this fever thing started. They are checking everything to try and identify the source problem.

He is back on an IV and not getting anything in the feeding tube since he previously vomited and frequently gets nauseous. He has been getting medications via the feeding tube but today when he got them he got sick again.

He has slept very little since 4am today when this all began, but he is now finally resting. We just hope it will last through the night, that he can get some well needed rest and get over whatever is causing the fever.

The surgery probably won't happen now until Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on how he does with whatever is causing the fever.

Please continue to keep Taylor in your prayers. No matter how good things may sound on any particular day, his condition is still very serious and there are a lot of minefields that he must walk through safely before he gets to the end of this trip he's on.
