False Start

7:30pm

All the staples were removed today and Taylor's Neurosurgeon signed off on him so he's ready to head out. Even though he was to leave today for rehab, the insurance company now decided to throw a curve ball at the last minute. Hopefully he'll be out tomorrow.

Taylor's mother left the hospital today after spending the past 7 days here while I recovered from illness. Tonight is my first night back on Taylor duty. As soon as I told him I was staying, he asked where his ear plugs were. Funny guy.


8:10pm

When we created this blog, we figured some of Taylor's friends and some of our friends and family would check it on occasion to see how he's doing. As it turns out, a LOT more people check it each day than we imagined would.

It's really nice to know how many care about how Taylor is doing. Tonight he is really alert and I read to him all the towns below where those who have checked his blog either live or where their ISP server is located. He was REALLY surprised not only to find out that there are about 100 visitors daily, but people from coast to coast check in on him.

Having this site is definitely a great idea. Not only does it keep me updated on the Miracle Boys progress, but also it lets me know specifically how to pray for his recovery and the needs of the rest of the family. I love you guys! You are daily in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm grateful to y'all for setting up this site. It's hard to judge when something like this happens -- I want to call and let y'all know you're loved, yet I know the overall outpouring of loving calls can be a challenge of its own for y'all. So it's been wonderful to be able to keep up with Taylor's progress from afar. Keep it up, Taylor!

Lima checks in daily. I agree with BR, in that this site lets me know how to pray for his recovery. It also lets me know how the rest of you are doing. I'm glad that Suz got to go home to rest. When I talked to her Sat. she sounded tired. Glad you are better, Al. Love to all 4 of you.

WOW!!!! That's amazing. Don't forget to add Lake Wales, Florida. I check this blog everyday to see the updates. You know I wish that I would have thought of this when my husband was ill and passed away. I had to send status e-mails every week to everyone. That was a lot because not all the emails were the same. Anyway, thank you for the updates. We continue to pray for you Taylor.
