Today is Taylor's last surgery, and what puts him 1 step closer to getting out of the hospital. He is anxious about it, but knows this is his last big hurdle here.
1:34pm
Taylor's surgery was to start early, but didn't start until around 10am. He's out and back in his room now. He is NOT happy and has a massive headache. He's waiting now for some medication to relieve the pain.
2:10pm
Taylor is heading down for a CT scan. The staff thought his "bad side" (right) was looking a little slower, so want to make sure that there is nothing going on causing it. Looks like nothing to worry about. I don't see any difference, but nurses probably look for things that parents don't.
4:00pm
He's back and the CT scan looks good, so they say. He has a gigantic headache, as you might imagine. Hopefully, he'll rest throughout the night.
The rehab folks are here today putting the final touches on his transfer. He should be getting the staples out of his incision in 5 days or so, then he's outta here and headed south.

Dear God,

Dear Taylor:
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. God is truly wonderful. We pray that he keeps you safe throughout your surgery today and that he gets you through the rough journey of physical therapy, but, God will be there by your side and if you fall its okay because he will pick you up and carry you. AMEN!
Love Miriam & Gary Kennedy
Hey! First you tease us with the idea of Taylor coming back to see us today, then you scare us with the CT thing. Geez! But seriously, it is a good thing all around. Good in that he didn't even need to be back in the unit, and good that the repeat CT confirmed that all was ok. Way to go, Taylor! You'll be headed to rehab (and then HOME) soon!!!

Julie,
We thought he was coming back there, but they switched up on us at the last minute.
My palms got a little sweaty when they took him right back down for the CT after getting him up here, but all was well. Whew!
We'll be down to visit you guys soon, since we're hoping to bail out of here in a week....or maybe a few days less.
