Taylor had a full day of classes and activity today. She started out with swallowing class at 8am. At 9am, she went to get her wheelchair re-adjusted to fit her better. From 11-11:30a, she had speech therapy. Then she had a break until 2pm when she went back to her room to listen to “The Hunger Games” and take a nap. At 2pm, she had more speech therapy when the speech therapist thought she was ready to start chewing small, soft pieces of food. She gave Taylor some canned peach cubes to chew, which for her first try went OK (she didn’t choke). Then Taylor went back to her room and took a nap. After the nap, we went outside to enjoy the weather, which, considering that it snowed yesterday, was pretty nice. The rest of the night we spent listening to “The Hunger Games” until John and Nathan arrived from LA. We all spent a good hour conversing with Taylor and catching up until it was time to go to bed. Taylor has another full day tomorrow.

The Positive News About Taylor and Her Perfect Healing
Quote from Winston Churchill – “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” And the line that summed up his personal career and the spirit that led the British people to victory: “Never, never, never give up.”
So keep going Taylor and don’t give up! Get better and fight a good fight.
Wow, your daily progress is awesome and I know brings a smile to everyone who reads your daily blogs. Yes for sure we will have the old Taylor back, you are one tough, intelligent, beautiful cookie! x
Hi Taylor
I took a few days off from reading your parent’s amazing blog about you and oops, what a mistake. I missed a ton of news! So great to hear of your progress in so many areas and especially that you are communicating with your wonderful family.
Sending love and good thoughts from LA. Keep going!

Dear Taylor,
My family listened to some of The Hunger Games on audiobook, too, driving up to a conference in Monterrey the first year we lived in California. Now some of the story is connected in my mind to the California coast. It is amazing to hear about your progress. We hope you get the box from church this week!

Hi Rev. Bijur,
Yes, we received the package today! Thanks for the prayer blanket, poem book, and all the cards and cookies!
This sounds terrific! Taylor is working hard and having a bit of fun/entertainment as well. Keep up the super efforts. Hang tough!
Taylor is working so hard! I am sure she is delighted to have both of her parents and her brother with her now.
Taylor. I love reading about all the progress you are making, it makes me so happy. I have ABSOLUTELY no doubt that you will very shortly be the same old Taylor. We were never that close, but it doesn’t matter because from the classes we had together, like Ms. Utley’s environmental science class junior year of high school, it was practically impossible to not be completely blown away by your intelligence, and might I add, natural beauty. You are incredible, you are perfect. Love,
