Last night was definitely an eventful night and with only two hours of sleep I am going to give a brief update to keep everyone informed. Yesterday, Taylor slept all day…she was extremely tired and experienced her headache and vomiting spells. As the day and night progressed, Tay began to vomit consistently and was showing signs of regression by her slow and lack of response to others and her heart rate was getting lower and lower. Therefore, the Doctors decided to do an emergency procedure by putting in an external ventricular drain. Without giving you the yucky details, I will simply say that they inserted a tube into her brain which is inserted into her Shunt that relieves the pressure and fluid from the brain…which they believe is causing her illness. During this 3 hour process last night, they decided to intubate her so that she wouldn’t feel anything today or experience anymore trauma. It is has been quite difficult seeing her unconscious…and am looking extremely forward to her being her old self!!
I was able to arrange for the twins to end their school year without repercussions in order to leave on Friday morning to spend the majority of their summer with their Dad in Tennessee. I haven’t been able to give them the attention that they need, and need to focus on getting Tay back to her spunky self. I don’t think it has set in that they are leaving in 3 days for at least two months. Ugh, I am going to miss them dearly.
Taylor’s surgery is in two hours, and I want to be strong for her. I can tell she feels my energy in the room. You can call it a coincidence and even though she is medicated and asleep it seems that every time I become emotional her vitals seem to show it. I plan on writing some great news tomorrow! Until then I say thanks to all my friends for your unconditional support, prayers, and love! You are truly a light for my family.
