Good afternoon,
Well, Taryn still has a high resp rate and a low grade fever. It has been very hard for her to rest with all the doctors, nurses, and therapists coming in. I'll try to give you a run down on one of Taryn's days: she has three infectous disease doctors every morning, the PIC doctors, intern, resident and attending doctors, three nurses, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a respratory therapist, plastic surgeons, a pediatric IV team,someone to take her blood pressure and some dude that does chest x-rays. Each one of these staff members comes by throughout the day and several of them are there multiple times a day.
The PIC team is going to check her on Monday to see if she is strong enough for them to put her PIC line in her arm. Taryn will receive IV medicines through this line for about 4 weeks after we are home.
Speaking of home, I drove home this afternoon to surprise Tycen, Taylen, and Tylee. I wanted to make sure they know how much Traci and I miss them. Tycen has a baseball tournament this weekend in Paris, TN and I wanted him to be able to relax and have fun playing baseball with his buddies. Teresa (Traci's mom) drove down this evening to spend the night with Traci and Taryn at the hospital. Me and the other kids will be back there tommorrow night after Tycen's games. They are very excited to be going to mom and little sis'.
Please continue to pray for Taryn's breathing and fever and pray that she will be able to rest this weekend. God Bless, Dave

I heard about Taryn through Hermitage Hills Baptist Church, however I did not hear about the circumstances that brought her to Vandy. God Bless
