Hi Tay....

((((Hugs))))....

Thank you SO much everyone. It amazes me on how much you guys think I am SO strong and brave...lol.. I am SOOOOO scared... and there are times when I just break.. thank God Florida has good food and I have good friends. lmao. .... thanks for the support. I will keep you updated. On Friday, I will be leaving for the RMH... They weren't goig to send me there at first, but my dotor thinks its best.. I will go through series of tests *ick*, blood test sare my least favorite.. I cry for hours.. before and after... I should be used to it by now, but I am not. And I will also be getting a new "type" of medicine... its a little black bag that carries my medicine.. it looks like a messenger bag.. and I will have an IV put in my hand at all times.. so I can walk around, go to school up there, and be as "normal" as possible... if that is possible. I'm not really looking forward to that.. I loathe IV's with a passion... but I'm sure everything will be okay. I am basically like moving there, so my laptop will be coming with me, so I can still update everyone. One again, thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for all the support, thoughts and prayers. Much Love, ~ Taylor ~ Rock on!!!!!

Aww Tay!! We we still think you are a strong girl I am scared of blood and needles too lmao, i always pass out when i get blood drawn! but keep on coming to KMF, we will make ya laugh!! especially muttie cause he says the most randumb things ever :*.

Tay, even strong people get scared and stumble.  But they get back up and keep on fighting   The reason I think you're strong is that you are sharing your story.  The good thing is that when you share it, we can be here to help you through it.  Every little bit helps.  I bet looking at this helps...

Positive attitude is always the way to go. With that Im sure you'll get your heart.
Best of Luck to you!

thanks : ) Its alot easier to admitt thing over the internet.. its still VERY hard... but it took like 2 months to tell my friends..... lol. but thanks very much guys. You are all great!!!!!!

Hi Tay~You are a GREAT kid and really brave too! I am a former anorexic bulemic and I know just how tough it really is to come out. I will be praying for you, Sweetheart!

Hey Tay..I've just read about you..What a strong girl you are..Just know that here from Colombia  (South America) I will be praying for you and thinking positive..

Laura

Tay.. you there? Don't give up.. I know you can do it! Believe you can do it.. like I do..

we love you Tay!

Taylor:  My nurse's name is Katharine, and I told her my hero was Katharine McPhee and she asked me if I was going to make a wish.. if it was going to be to meet her, and I said no I already met her and I think everyone should have a chance.

She told me this earlier today..

thanks.... tell her we are all thinking of her

Will do Kenneth ... I'm pretty sure she'll be reading this. I know how concerned you are. I'm happy she came here as well.

HI Everyone, : ) I just wanted to let you know I am here okay. Yuv already told everyone about my nurse I um, I am really sick right now.. I despise airplanes with a passion and I am very afraid of them, and vomitted twice on the airplane... and then the night I arrived, I had a fever of 102.4... which over night, WITH medicine grew to 103.6... it is now 102.7... They, well we, thought it was just the altitude, because I have had many problems with that, but now they are thinking otherwise... I am scheduled to have tests done, but might not be able to if I am still sick.. On the bright side.. I like it here. I think I will adjust well.. : ) Yesterday, I thought I was okay to go outside for a little while.. but that resulted in me being dizzy... and I am not able to go to school up here... but... I made a friend Tyler, he needs a bone marrow transplant.. he has this awful little sister Hailey... who upon saying hello, stopped on my little, size 2 feet, and ran away.. I cried..lol.. *rolls eyes* and Tyler explained that she is only 5 and BIG into cheer leading and that there mom uprooted them from there home in Oklahoma to come to the rmh with Tyler.. and she was not very happy about that.. although that was 2 months ago.. she is still not friendly and or nice to anyone. :S... Anyways she is the least of my obstacles and problems right now. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers once again.. Love you all and talk to you soon~ Tay ~

wow.. you're one of the bravest, strongest, and most mature 15 year-old I've ever seen/heard about/encountered on the internet.. Im 3 years older than you, but it seems like you're more mature than me.. lol.

I read from one of your previous messages that you sometimes can't help but break and cry. It's ok. I break down and cry too..and for reasons not as serious as yours.

I got really sick, too, early this year. It was kind of life threatening... but it was easily cured. And I know that laughter, friends, family or simply just watching a really cool Disney movie can help. I pray that, for the meantime since you haven't gotten your heart yet, God will shower you with the simple but precious things in life. the little things that help you through the day until the right time for the right heart comes along...

We all love and support you Tay!

Wow I just read all this - I can't believe how strong and calm you are. I will pray for you - and yes the others are right, you ARE indeed a role model.
I look up to you, I truly do!
You know what I've learned? That the lord has a plan for each of us, and even thought me won't always understand it, there's always a good reason for what happens.
I know I'm not any good at comforting, forgive me.
Keep hoping, stay strong.
*hugs*

Thanks you guys SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! I really am no here.. whatsoever... I am the weakest person alive... really. My friends carry my books for me... here I have no books, lol but still.. They only reason I mentally stay strong is because I hate others seeing me down or upset... so I try my bestest *bestest, yes, new word ; )* lol. Anyways, I have been diagnosed with pneumonia.... :S.. its okay though... I breathe through my little breathing tube thingy.. and for the most part I stay in bed. I haven't been able to et my "new" heart medicine yet... that will be through the mickey tube *suction like device attatched to stomache that injects and yeah..* and I will also have a little black like messenger bag that has my IV attatched to my arm.. and I have to make sure it doesn't leak or come out.. and yeah I'm sure that wil be a pain, but oh well... Still no heart... yet... I promise I wil lfind a way to let everyone know the day I get one. : ) Thanks Again SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Love you all! *hugs* ~ Princess Tay ~ lmao.

awwwwwww now i feel even more bad!! ur gonna get better =D u have such a positive attitude gosh if i were u id be complaining like all the time lol.  <3

You don't know how happy you've made me now..

lol.. Yuv... You'll be the first one I will PM... : ) I have to PM everyone at AI and then post on here... : )

and I do complain alot... like I cry and I get reallllllly upset everytime I have tests done and you would think I would be used to it by now.. but I'm not and I just hate it. But up here at the rmh, they treat you as if you are going to die, so I get everything I want... just in case like something does happen.. they try to make it enjoyable.. you know what I mean?

I'm so late to do this but.  I read this story and I don't really what to say other than.  Just wishing nothing but good things for you Taylor.  You are in all of our Katharine loving hearts.

thanks!!!
