Sweet baby Taylor!

Oh my sweet baby boy! Where has the time gone?

Fast Sunday

Sunday September 27, 2009

I feel very blessed. I don't know anyone that didn't have Tay in their prayers today. I am amazed at the support system I have. My heart is very full. Thank you to all for having Taylor in your prayers this fast Sunday.

Tay's dog tags

I wanted to show everyone what our wonderful youth in our ward have put together for us all to wear. Thank you Sister Johnson and to all that participated. I love you guys!!!

My new favorite quote

Mortality is a period of testing, a time to prove ourselves worthy to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. In order to be tested, we must sometimes face challenges and difficulties. At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel's end—no dawn to break the night's darkness. We feel surrounded by the pain of broken hearts, the disappointment of shattered dreams, and the despair of vanished hopes. We join in uttering the biblical plea 'Is there no balm in Gilead?' (Jeremiah 8:22). We are inclined to view our own personal misfortunes through the distorted prism of pessimism. We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face."

Thomas S. Monson, "Looking Back and Moving Forward," Ensign, May 2008

School pictures September 2009

School pictures came today. I do have to say......Jeff and I made two beautiful kids ;)

Getting organized

I've been trying to get all my pictures in photo albums, I feel like I'm nesting or something ;)
I guess I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best for Taylor's recovery. The doctor says recovery will be "hell" how do you prepare yourself for that?
This is one of my favorite pictures of Tay while he was still walking, he was 4 months shy of 5 years old.

Begining of a possible cold

Taylor's thinking on getting a head cold. ..YIKES!!! If he gets sick within 4 weeks of surgery (here we are at three) they we reschedule it for another time. It wouldn't be until after the New Year because it takes a few months to get in. The poor kid is hurting and needs to get it done soon. I just hope his congestion goes away within the next day or two.

Taylor is having surgery because his scoliosis is getting worse. They will be attaching metal rods to each side of his spine and connect them to his pelvic bone. The surgery is Oct 5th at Primary Children's. The surgery will take about 8 hrs. and he will be in the hospital for 10 days. Approximate recovery time at home is 2 months.

Taylor's surgery/blog

Hi, just starting this blog thing, we'll see how it goes!

Taylor is going to be having major back surgery in October and I thought this would be an easy way to keep everyone informed. I will try to post every time I hear anything new, so check back often!
