Taylor is 2 weeks old today!!
Today she had another Kidney Ultrasound. Things are looking a little better. Her kidneys are a little swollen, (poor girl its because of all the hard work she's doing) There is a little bit of blood flow going through the kidneys but not enough. She made it to her 1cc per kilo per hour today, but it dropped back down to .8cc per kilo per hour. They had to increase her fluids today because she hasn't been getting enough nutrition.
Some of the nurses just complimant her all the time....."she is amazing" said Jill. "Precious little soul" exclamied Jane. She seems to be getting the eye from all the nurses. :) What a little sweetie!
Today Taylor's little roommate got to go home. It was so hard to experience that, watching a Mom and Dad get to take their precious one home. Hopeing to myself with every breathe that we will soon get to do that.

Dearest Nikki,
I just read all of your sweet letters about your 'Little Fighter' daughter, Taylor. She is beautiful & amazing! And so are you sweetheart!
We don't know the reasons why we are called to go through such heart rending experiences. I know if it were up to you, you would take away all her pain and bear it yourself. But it seems this is part of her mission and growth. She must have been very valiant in the pre-existance for Heavenly Father to have trusted her to go through this trial.
Please know she is not going through it alone. I am sure not only are there angels very near, but I believe our Heavenly Mother can't be too far away, to help her go through this.
You are such a strong little mother. You are growing stonger each day, but on the days you can't seem to bear it, please ask Heavenly Father to take the burden from you for awhile. Let the Comforter comfort you.
I put all of your names in the Temple when I work there. I even stand in the circle at times. She and you, my sweet little Nikki are in my prayers constantly. Don't ever let go of 'the perfect brightness of hope'. She has proven what a fighter she is.
May God Bless you and hold you both in the hollow of His hand.D&C6:20"...and I will encircle thee in the arms of My love." His angels are round about you. May you feel all of our love at this time. I can feel your pain. Keep strong. Taylor needs your strength. We will continue to pray that you both have the strength you need, and that she will be able to make it through this harrowing experience and be able to face whatever life has to offer.
Our Love, Prayers & Support,
'Aunt' Beverley and Jim
Nikki!
I have been an emotional wreck today just thinking about you. I remember thinking that I would NEVER want someone to have to experience this. I thought that I was pretty strong during my trial but it hits me harder knowing someone else is going though the very similar thing. My heart breaks for you and I can't tell you enough how sorry I am that you had to go through all of this. The ONLY comfort that I had was knowing that I had an eternal family and I KNEW that she was with her Father in Heaven. I Love you Nikki and I hope that Taylor and Adelyn are friends in heaven. Call me if you have ANY questions or just need to talk to someone that understands what you are going through!
I LOVE the pictures and this is the frist time that I have been on your blog. What a sweet little girl!
