Update on Taylor

Taylor's blood culture came back positive for infection, it turned out to be MRSA staph. It started as a red place on her cheek and before we knew it, had made her really sick. This morning her whole face was swollen, so she didn't look good when we saw her. However, her white blood count looked much better this morning and her heart rate had gone down into the 150's to 160's. She also had to go down for a ct scan this afternoon, which was hard to go through and probably wore her out. The results came back showing cellulitis(sp?), or a swelling of the tissue, on her face, which is what was suspected, and which is among the best of possible scenarios. She is still pretty lethargic today and obviously not feeling well, but hopefully the antibiotics are working and we'll see results soon. Even if they aren't, we know your prayers are, so thanks again so much.
