Her temperature did start to rise again but they were able to bring it down with cool towels. Her brain waves are responding to stimulation... which is both good and bad. It's good that she senses when we are in the room or speaking - however, too much stimuli causes too much unwanted spiking in the brain pattern.
Jennifer bought a Build-A-Bear and dressed it as their favorite nurse - Nurse Ashley. I think Taylor will really get a kick out of that when she wakes up.
The support from friends, family, and even strangers has been wonderful! Jennifer and Matthew could not be more thankful for the visits, the food, the gifts for Taylor, and donations. Jennifer's co-workers and boss have been especially helpful, as well as Jennifer and Matthew's friends and family. It made the family feel really good that so many of Taylor's teachers visited from her school, with messages from classmates and home-cooked meals.
We all remain very hopeful that Taylor will get well soon! However, the counselor that visited with Jennifer did say that we should not think in terms of days any more... but more likely weeks...
