Taylor's feeding tube got clogged early this morning and efforts to clear it haven't worked. So, tomorrow morning he'll be transported back to Lakeland Regional Medical Center to have a new one inserted.
He's also lost a lot of weight - almost 30 pounds - so he'll be put on a higher calorie mixture tomorrow to help him gain weight.
This afternoon, Taylor was able to sit upright unassisted for 2 15 minute intervals. Yesterday he only did about 10 minutes. He was worn out when he finished, but his endurance is building daily.

steps BACK.... well, now he's 2 steps FORWARD and 1 step back.... Hang in there.... nice to see such a GREAT picture of him. We are all happy he looks so much better!

Just remember what I said..."baby steps, Taylor"... keep doing whatever it is that keeps you going so well. I like the t shirt more than the gown, better look for you!.
