Taylor's not doing very good....

Things have been going downhill this week. Taylor is not doing very good at all. She looks very swollen (the most I have ever seen her). Her levels are increasing (This is not good) it means her kidneys are getting worse. 3/12/08 Today they found out Taylor had extra fluid around her lungs. So they did a chest X-ray to see what was going on. they were first concerned her pick line was leaking out from her veins into her lungs. They also thought it might be an pneumonia. After they got the results back on the X-Ray, they believe its just all the extra fluid from her swelling. They are going to take another x-ray tommorrow just to be safe.
Today the nurses put a pretty little bow in Taylors hair. She looked so pretty just like a little angel!

The kidney Doctor talked to us today and is still very hopeful. He said he has seen kids in worse condition than Taylor that have pulled through. He's very encouraged that she is peeing and her kidneys are big also that there is blood flow through the kidneys.
They have increased her ventilator setting a little tonight.
3/13/08 Taylor has a lot of acid building up in her stomach that the kidneys usually release. So the nurses are going to give her a supplement to help get rid of some. They did another X-ray on her chest today and it is the fluid building up...it has no other place to go.
My poor little girl its so hard to see her this way. Thank you everyone for all your fasting and prayers! Please keep praying.
