Taryn update

Hello everybody,
Well the good Lord knows exactly what Taryn needed. I took Tycen, Taylen and Tylee to Tycen's baseball tournament in Paris, TN and in the first inning it started to rain and they cancelled the rest of the games for today. Me and the kids decided to drive to Nashville and surprise Traci and Taryn. They were very surprised!!! This was the first time that Tylee and Taryn have gotten to see each other in two weeks. Immediately a smile came to Taryn's face. She has not done that in a long, long time. We took them on a wagon ride and went down to the family room. We got to chasing bubbles and Taryn starting belly laughing!!! She kept on laughing and laughing and laughing. Teresa, Traci and I could not help but cry because we were so happy to see her laughing. The therapists have been very worried that Taryn was suffering from depression or something and this was the first time she has laughed. Oh what a moment (I did get lots of videos on my cell phone).
Her breathing remains high but they are going to start her on some medication that will hopefully help her. They think she is having drug withdrawls from all the antibiotics and morphine she was on for so long. Her fever remains in tact and they think it is just from the pneumonia still in her lungs. The kids and I will stay here for tonight and they will ride back to Benton with Grammy (Teresa) tomorrow.
I would like to thank Teddy and Aunt Tana for keeping Tate so Teresa could come be with Traci and Taryn last night. It made me feel so much better to know they were not here alone. Talk to ya'll later. God Bless, Dave
