This is LeeAnne's mom, I am staying at her house tonight, a night away from the hospital so she can cut my hair. She asked me to post an update on Taylor. She began neuro-rehab on Tuesday and has two sessions each day of physical, occupational and speech therapy. She has worked hard this week and is so tired at the end of the day. She loves playing basketball the best, she shoots well, first from a sitting position, then today from a standing position. The ball and basket are not quite regulation size, but she loves it just the same. The areas of her brain affected by the accident were areas that control her personality, he verbalization and thought process, her vision. The past couple a days we have seen her begin to smile and it is so exciting. She remembers the names of all her siblings but can't tell you her own age or the grade she is in. She has double vision and has to wear an eye patch. She thinks she looks like a pirate. We are beginning to see her sense of humor and we are excited at the little bits and pieces of our Taylor as they return. We have felt so strongly the prayers of family and friends and know Heavenly Father blesses her each day helping her accomplish what she needs too.

Thank you so much for that update! I am so excited to hear that she is coming back, even if it is slowly. We pray for a complete recovery for her! It is amazing how much just a smile can brighten up a room!
We love updates! Thanks for taking the time to do it! and what a special treat to get to hear from Rayanne! I'm so excited for Taylor and the progress that she is making! And Hope to come in and see her tomorrow, but it seems like everytime something happens and I don't make it. But is has been awhile so this time I'm determined!
Always in our prayer!
I was glad that my mom posted this time so that the information is more accurate.
Yeah sounds like more progress... hope it continues! We'll keep you all in our prayers!
Lee Anne,
Thanks for saying hello. I love finding friends blogs as they help us keep up on each other.
We went to Eagar for Thanksgiving and found out about Taylor's accident. Jared and I were so shocked. Please know that our thoughts and prayers and with you and your family.
Sorry...one more thing....could you send me Esther's email address? We'd love to get in touch with her and Shad.
