Yesterday, the surgeon who put in Taylor’s initial tracheostomy tube came to replace the tube with a smaller one. This is in an effort to eventually wean her off of the tube. They first have to give her a trial run by deflating the cuff around the tube to see if she can protect her own airway. (With the cuff “on,” all fluids and secretions go through the tube v. down to her stomach.) Hopefully, they will let her have this trial run soon.
Taylor also has started “storming” again. This process may last several weeks and is different for every patient. The hospital staff are doing what they can to keep her comfortable.
Taylor is also sitting in a chair for several hours each day.
Hello everyone,
I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you all to be strong. Maybe you can tell us how you are doing, too. We’re all in this together, knowing Taylor will get through this. Look after yourselves, too. Thank God for an amazing love that heals us all.
Kit, I’m watching every day and keeping up with Taylor’s progress. Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do for you here in LA. Taylor is Perfect. Thank you again for your updates and this wonderful site. I can tell you that it is blessing people that you don’t even know. So, all the love has to be blessing Taylor.
Hi Kit,
So glad to find the taylorisperfect website so I can share in all the positive news about Taylor. I feel her energy here–sending all the warmth and humanity right back to you all.

Thinking of you all and keeping Taylor in thought and prayer. What a beautiful young girl… Hugs from Houston (One of George’s best friends).
Kit, I think of you and Taylor everyday. Vilma
Dear Kit,
Thank you and thanks to Taylor’s father for this news. My prayers are with Taylor and you both every day and before I go to sleep at night. Denise has been kind to keep me informed also. Right now I am at a computer corporation in San Marino as my computer has been giving me a lot of trouble lately. I’m not sure what I’ll do computerwise but I’ll be in touch with you. My heart is full of love and wonderful hope for Taylor. Talk soon.
Love,
Nina
Hope the storming subsides soon and that Taylor is comfortable in the meantime. Praying for her every day.
