I have been keeping up with Taylor's website and am sad to hear things are looking bad. But we need to focus on God and keep praying that the Doctors will be able to get this tumor out (hoping for all of it) and she will come out of recovery with flying colors and surprise us all! Praise God! He makes miracles happen everyday. Let's pray it's Taylor's Miracle Day! I read Alex (he met Taylor at Bevis Elementary, I don't know if she remembers him, he is in 3rd grade now)your journal and he kneeled down and said a prayer for her and for your family as soon as I finished. Then I led him in a prayer from all of us for complete healing and recovery. Such a sweet boy to remember her and pray for her. He has his little brother in 1st grade kneel down and pray for Taylor and all the other kids with cancer before bedtime also for Jacob and Patrick's families.
Beth
In my thoughts and prayers always,

Jordan I think of you often as this must be terribly hard on you to see your sister this way. I am a triplet and have 2 sisters. So far in our 40 years of life we have not had to go thru anything like this and I pray we never will. I know Taylor will be just fine because she has to be. That's all there is to it.

Hi There,
My name is Keith Rau I am Patrick and Rhonda Wills brother in-law anyway I was just looking at Pat's site and saw that they wanted people to pray for Taylor and for you also. So I just wanted to let you know that you can also count on me to be praying for all of you especially Taylor as you go through this uncertain time in the treatment. I can truly say that I do believe that the Lord does perform miracles I have witnessed them first hand with the recent success in Patrick's treatment and I believe that with all the people praying for you that the Lord is bound to bless you with one also just try and be strong in your faith and I know he will be there to Guide and carry you through the rocky journey ahead. God Bless you and I will continue to check in and pray for you.

HI Taylor, and family,
Correna and Demetri met you at Kite Camp this summer. I met your dad and sister last night at the concert in line. We have seen you a couple of times in the clinic, too. I was touched by your everlasting smile and your high spirits while sitting on the bed getting your chemo. You were making your dad and your grandfather (I think) laugh, and you were the one having to go through the yucky stuff. Without even meeting or knowing you, I felt your lovely spirit of happiness being shared with me. It even made my day with Demetri in the clinic better, because of you. You gave me strength to share with Demetri. I hope and pray that every day gets better, and the happiness and joy you give comes back a million fold to you.

Taylor and family,
You don't know me, but I happened across your website via another caringbridge site and immediately liked you! I have a son your age (birthday Nov.1) but we also have something else in common. I have an identical twin sister too! We also look a lot alike but have different styles now that we are adults. I am sorry you have been sick the past few years. I read through your story and can't believe all that you and your family have had to endure. You are one very strong girl! I hope that your new medications do their job without taking to much of a toll on you. You are such a pretty girl and have accomplished so much just by getting through each day not feeling your best. Try to keep your spirits up...you are very SPECIAL! My family and I are here in California praying for your COMPLETE healing! XO

Hi Taylor and Family,
My 6 year old son is going through chemo for leaukemia (ALL). I know that God alone is our strength. I was talking with my nurse here in Tulsa, Claudina, that told me about Taylor. I wanted to tell you that we have been giving our son the Mannatech products since his diagnosis. He has done much better then normal according to the doctors and nurses. From what I understand that is a common result with these products. I just felt lead to share this info with you. If you haven't already researched these you can look at glycoscience.org to get a good overview. You can go to Mannarelief.org to apply for assistance with their outreach program for children under 18 years of age. My son was approved within a couple days and we had the products in less then a week. (I beleive the cost is $125 per month but you receive several hundreds of dollars in products) They will also take sponsors for Taylor to pay for the products. Many business will do this for a tax write off. I just felt I needed to share this with you as God brought it to us and I try to pass on the blessing. Taylor, you stay strong. I know that when we have down days we can feel the prayers of others holding us up. Just remember lots of people are praying for you so if you feel down just rest in those prayers of others. You will be in our prayers as well and if it's ok I would like to put you on our pray list at our church, Rhema Bible Church, here in Broken Arrow, OK.
Hugs, Melodie Anderson

Dear Taylor and family,
Having been a "Taylor fan" for over a year now (I also read Jacob's website) I think about you and your family daily. I know God's will is not always easy to understand MANY TIMES and is not always clear MANY TIMES but during times like this, praying for peace within your heart and patience with Taylor (and everyone else in the family) would be very appropriate. He'll bless you with a peace that is above all understanding!!
God Bless and we'll keep on praying for you!

I've been hearing this song so much on KLOVE and had to share it with my Caringbridge families!!!
Casting Crowns - Praise You In This Storm
From the album Lifesong
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
(2x’s)
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of Heaven and Earth

Like you guys, we are still in the thick of the battle with no end in sight. I am so sorry that this is the case with you guys as well. Reading your journal entry, several drug names we are considering for Catie's new protocol were there. We will pray for your family and that this is the combo of drugs that finally kicks cancer to the curb for Taylor...

Taylor and family ~ I came across your site through another caringbridge link. You are a beautiful, brave, amazing girl and it is clear by reading your guestbook that you are loved by many. 3 years is way too long to have to deal with this, but you just hang in there and keep fighting. My son had rhabdomyosarcoma when he was 7 and he is 17 now and doing great. He went through awful treatments too. All of you chemo kids are the most courageous kids on the earth - I will pray for you and your family everyday!!!! I do believe in miracles and that the power of prayer is real. Don't give up Taylor.

Hi Arrington family! My name is Sarah Boesing, and I came across Taylor's site through some other caringbridge sites. I am a kidney transplant patient and know what it's like to be on large doses of prednisone - it's extremely rough. Anyways, I have an organization called Break the Grey which exists to support, encourage, and serve families facing pediatric cancer. I was wondering if it was okay with you if I put up a prayer request for Taylor on the website (www.breakthegrey.org). I'll keep on praying for Taylor's healing. God bless!

To Taylor and her family - I traveled to your site from another site and read your concerns with Thalidamide. My father took it for almost 5 years for his Multiple Myeloma. I hope it will work wonders for you as it did him. I had to smile as I read the pitfalls you were experiencing with it ("loopy" - what a great description). Best of luck and take care.

So thankful that Taylor was able to start chemo. I know it's not fun, but it means there's still options. Praying with all my heart that this is the treatment to rid Taylor of cancer once and for all!!! I will lift Taylor up especially praying for her side effects! My Mom has neuropathy of the feet so I know how painful that is! May God pour out HIS blessings on you continually! I had read Jacob Duckworth's page before you updated and saw Heather's info on the garage sale for your family! How AWESOME that God has put these women in your life! May they bring you hope and encouragement daily! Lifting all of you up as I know it would be easy for me to get "Drained and Discouraged" too! I pray that God will give you a Peace that only can come from HIM!!! My fave verse is Romans 8:18-"I consider that our present suffering is not to be compared to the glory that is to be revealed in us"! I know God has great plans to be glorified through Taylor's life!

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Many people who love your family and love Taylor are boldly approaching the throne asking for help in your families time of need. Lifting Taylor's needs and mercy to be bestowed upon her.
Marykay we are always here for your family. Just someone to give you a hug of encouragement, hug to the girls as they face each changing day, to brighten your days with any need requested. Call upon us so that we can (and will) deliver the Lord's love as He carries each of you through every step of the way. Through God all things are possible according to His will and His plan.

I know how hard this must be. I do not have cancer or anything that seriouse. But I do have a few health conditions that have caused me to look different than the rest of the world. My health conditions are also very painful. So I know what dealing with pain is like. A great place to meet people and chat is abilityonline. the site is www.abilityonline.ca I was given the site by my doctor who worked with the doctor who founded the organization. I hope that all goes well and you get better. I know those words may not mean anything right now. But take care

So wishing the results were not this way. Wishing so much more for Taylor and your family. I know how devastated you must be. Keep hope alive - there is always room and always reason. Praying so for this next treatment not to be too hard on Taylor and for the side effects to be minimal and of course for it to kick the crap out of this cancer. My prayers for all of you are many. Love them up and LIVEstrong!

Mary Kay,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray God will give you the strength and comfort you need during this most difficult time. A friend of mine from church was telling me that a friend of hers was healed from cancer by following the Hallelujah Diet. Have you heard of that? I am sure you can find info on the internet. Anyhow, just want you to know we are praying for you.

Hi Mary Kay,
I have not signed in a very long time but we keep Taylor and your entire family in prayer. It was my sister, Lynn LaRoe, that pointed me to Taylor's site quite some time ago. I had the pleasure of meeting Jordan a couple of years ago when Lynn was living down the road from you. If I remember, I think she and Cory were in the same class at Beavis? Please know that I am praying for Taylor's complete healing and peace. I'm overwhelmed by what this insideous disease can do to kids and their families. Stay strong Mary Kay and give it to God and cry out to him for help when you are down. I pray that Taylor will do the same. Storming heaven with requests for improved scans. Please know that you have one more family that has been praying for Taylor and your family. I'll be asking my church family to add Taylor to our weekly prayer letter. I hope I can come make it down to FL for another short visit before the end of the year and have a chance to meet you and the Duckworth's and the Wills family. Our pastor just returned to church after being on medical leave for open heart surgery and he brought this beautiful verse from Isaiah to our attention:
Isaiah 40:31
"...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Keep FROGing and hoping in the Lord.

Hi Taylor and Family,
Just found your site from the Duckworth Family. I've followed Amazing Jacob and have truly be inspired by his mom. Our son Nic was dx with Ewings on May 4th of this year. He's had 5 rounds of chemo, surgery to remove area where tumor was and now will have our 1st set of scans on Monday since all of this began. It has been a journey I'd never wish on anyone. Please know we will add Taylor and your family to our list of caringbridge friends and family.

Hi to you all,
As with many others, I found you through other sites. I am one of the many prayer warriors that pop in and check on Taylor and the rest of you. We always pray for healing for the "kids" and ultimately ask for God to keep them in his care. I will do so again today and tomorrow and the day after and so on. God Bless you all. And as a caregiver to one that taught me how to fight this horrible disease, I so totally agree with you and others and have to say, with the young ones especially, that cancer just sucks.

White Oak, Tx - Friday, September 22, 2006 12:42 AM CDT
I have been following Taylor's story. My son would always tell me last year at Bevis how she is doing and he would say "Hi" to her in the lunch room. Whether or not she heard him or said it back. He was in 2nd grade and was drawn to her and last night out of the clear blue he asked me to check her website since she is in middle school now and doesn't see her anymore. He also asked me to check on Kyle Duckworth. I didn't realize in the car line that the van in front of me was the Duckworth's. I did however see the bumper magnet of Jacob and started to cry.
So, I did as he asked, along with checking on the Duckworth family. My other son is in the same class as Brandon Duckworth. I pray for you and your family and am saddened about the scans. I will tell Alex and I know he will pray for her. I also know he will want to see her or at least say "Hi" here in the guestbook. I am sickened with Saten and hate that he causing you pain and heartache. I can only pray that God is overpowering him and you soon you will feel his love and give you the strength to believe that the medication will put Taylor into remission. You have to believe in miracles. I realize, pray, and cry for Jacob and the other children's families who have lost their child to this Monster "Cancer". As Heather has wrote in her journal, she is grieving for her loss, but, knows she will be reunited with Jacob. Unfortuntely, it will be a long time before that will happen, but, she knows he has landed safely in the arms of God and is in a better place and no longer in suffering.
About the kids picking on Taylor at school. If there are kids out there that have nothing better to do than whisper behind her back or make snide remarks to her - they are weak and have low self-esteem, even if they are the "Popular" kids. They are weak, scared and uncaring human beings and do not have a relationship with God, if they did they would have compassion and would respect and sympathize with what Taylor is going through. Not to mention the unfortunate fact that Cancer could happen to them. I fear everyday, when Alex or Chase complain of a headache, stomach ache. It's always in the back of my mind...what if...
I have heard the expression "Without suffering there would be no compassion". I dislike that Taylor is feeling this way. These kids lack compassion and hopefully God will find a way into their hearts and not feel sorry for Taylor but understand what is happening to her. And Taylor, if you are reading this; there is nothing wrong with feeling bloated from the predisone. You are perfect any way you look. You are 1000 times the person than any of those kids who pick on you or will pick on you will ever be. Please believe this and not let them get to you. If you are feeling down, remember all the people, family, friends, strangers who are on your side and praying for you and your recovery. Do the things you love without fear of what others will think. Be strong, have courage to accept the things you cannot change and the ability to know the difference. Live life to the fullest and not be afraid of what is to come. Fight this cancer and most of all "pray".

Hey there! I learned about Taylor through Amazing Jacob's site quite some time ago and I have checked on her everyday since then. I don't believe I have ever signed in though. Your girls are absolutely beautiful and you have such a precious family. I just checked Jacob's site this AM and saw Heather's note about Taylor's scans. It broke my heart. She is such a fighter and I know that she will beat this! Up until two and a half years ago, I had no clue of the severity of childhood cancer. Then my friend's daughter was diagnosed with ALL. Through her CB site, I have learned of so many other children. As a mother, my heart absolutely breaks each time I learn of another child having to suffer in such a way. The one thing that remains constant and apparent to me on these site is the amount of strength that the children have. I read the words of the mothers/fathers posted to these sites and sometimes I have to remind myself that the people they are talking about are only babies. These children fight the good fight everyday and do it in a way that most adults could not. What a witness they are to so many! They have reminded me how to trust the Lord completely and how to appreciate what is really important and to not sweat the small stuff that really doesn't matter. These children have also taught me the importance of being a registered bone marrow donor and donating blood/platelets and most of all, the importance of praying for a cure!
Taylor is so cute and always looks so hip in the pictures that you post. I will pray for her complete healing on Earth and for you, your husband and Jordan. My heart breaks for each of you but I know that our Lord can and will heal your baby girl.
Friends in Christ,

It breaks my heart to read your update mainly because I know these upcoming and past tests have been scary and the Prednisone is totally a drug that does change appearance and make a person appear differently. I would say, you have probably already done this, to have a counselor from your hospital (child life specialist) go to her school and maybe talk to the kids. Katia really studies her appearance and the prednisone really puffs up her face and belly and makes her hungry all the time. She has been on prednisone since Feb. 2004. The few times we have gone down and her body gets normal (actually very skinny), she gets happy but then we have to go back up. It is a roller coaster and I hate to give her those little pills but they do help in many ways. They have also really hurt her bones making her weak. You are in our prayers, always. I pray the new therapy will work. I hate cancer and I hate that these kids have to face the treatments, side effects and worry. "As long as there is life, there is hope." Never give up and never give in. Cancer is mean but it is beatable. You are in our prayers.

With my own tears I read your entry. Even though I had already heard the results were not good, it breaks my heart to read your words. I can tell you that I hate this awful disease! Ok, now that I have gotten to say that. As the mother of a 14 year old girl, I KNOW the whole appearance thing is very important and I don't think it is petty at all for you to be worried about it. And, I know kids can be mean. It would be a small minded person that would be mean to a person because they are sick. Brady and I have talked about this before and he would be MORE than willing to stick up for Taylor. He might be small but he IS a black belt in TaeKwonDo! So many, many people care about Taylor and your family. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for you. You are NOT alone. We are praying for you everyday. I will never give up praying for Taylor's miracle cure here on earth.

Hi MaryKay,
I keep hearing this song on JoyFM and SpiritFM and every time I wish I could call and have you turn on your radio intime to catch the song....so I thought I'd share the lyrics with you, and maybe you will recognize them from the radio too....especailly the chorus "He Will Carry Me" is the line that you have to hold on to.
And as always, you are in my prayers.
Artist: Mark Schultz
Song Title: He Will Carry Me
I call, You hear me
I've lost it all
And it's more then I can bear
I feel so empty
Your strong, I'm weary
I'm holding on
But I feel like giving in
But still You're with me
(Chorus)
And even though I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Who's love will comfort me
And when my hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me
I know I'm broken
But You alone
Can mend this heart of mine
Your always with me
And even though I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Who's love will comfort me
And when my hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me
He will carry me
(Bridge)
And even though I feel so lonely
Like I have never been before
You never said it would be easy
But You said You'd see me through the storm
And even though I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Who's love will comfort me
And when my hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me
He will carry me
He will carry me

I have signed all my Caringbridge buddies' sites this week because God gave me a devotional that just spoke to me about all of you. Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. My devotion was about our lack of patience-which hits me right where it hurts---I have NONE!! Anyway, the author wrote-God's delays are not denials. I just loved that! We want things NOW and if they don't happen the way we want we think God's not listening or doesn't care when that is what the devil wants us to think! God has great plans for Taylor. I don't know what they are, but so far Taylor has gotten to be a part of some amazing things and has touched so many people BECAUSE of cancer. I pray normalcy for you by healing for Taylor but if not for this site I would never have had the privilege of getting to "know" Taylor and your family! Thank you for sharing and we will pray for clear scans and COMPLETE HEALING...in God's time!!!

Hello - I am the father of a 8 year old boy who was just diagnosed with Ewing's 3 weeks ago. I won't bore you with the details as you have enough going on. I was given this link from a friend who was contacted by one of your relatives here in Colorado. I just wanted to say that your journal entries were very inspiring and they have helped me answer some VERY tough questions my son keeps asking me and my wife. I am new to caringbridge, but I find it to be a terrific tool. If you wish, you can go to Kohl's site which is kohl benjamin. I wish you and your entire family well and add me to the list of people that will be praying for you.

Am sharing a longer passage today because I didn't want to leave out any of it.
Eph.3:14-21: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

Hi Taylor,
Just wanted to let you know that our family has been thinking about you and praying for you. We miss seeing you, Jordan and your Mom at the clinic. We still would like to get together again, maybe one day soon when you are off from school and hospital visits.
MaryKay please know that you are not alone in this fight. I am hear for you anytime you need a friend as well as Taylor. Please continue to have hope and faith, it will help carry you thru the toughest times. Even now that Remi is in remission, I have such mixed feeling of joy and fear, joy of seeing her free from the daily life of the hospital and treatment schedule but fear of what is to come next and the unknown.
I too am very saddened to hear the news of James passing, he and his family were such beautiful people. He will be greatly missed. It is going to be hard to tell the girls of his death. They too had become friends with him and just really have a hard time loosing friends and understanding this horrible disease.
Our family will say extra prayers for Taylor for her scans on the 15th, she is always on our mind as well as your whole family. I hope to see you all soon.
With love and hope,

Such a hard discussion for you to have with Taylor...but it sounds like you did a beautiful job. I too have had that discussion with my child...and she left this world for another, much better place. I pray Taylor has a much longer time with us yet on this earth. These discussions are not something a mom should have with their child. My heart goes out to both of you...May the Lord give you strength and peace....and a miracle this side of heaven...
Quote for the week…as I struggle at times with what looks like unanswered prayers...small or large…
“The little child does not always understand its mother’s promises, but it knows its mother, and its childlike trust is founded not on her word, but upon herself. And just so it is with us…There may not be a prayer answered or a promise fulfilled to our own consciousness, but what of that? Behind the prayers and behind the promises, there is God, and He is enough. And to such a soul the simple words, GOD IS, answer every question and solve every doubt.” Hannah Whitall Smith

Mary Kay,
You are so not alone, I know that sometimes it really feels like everything is on us but it won't always be that way. You and Taylor are going to get through this, with out a doubt. Remember that they are learning more and more all the time. Just because this "isn't working" doesn't mean that it's over. This is just giving Taylor more time until they find the right drugs. She will "be OK" here with us on Earth. I just know it, I feel it. Please, don't worry or work yourself to much. We love you guys and are Prayin' like crazy. God is listening, we just have to wait a little longer than we'd like. Stay Strong and please get some rest. I'll call you soon.

Thanks for the update. I check on you all daily and was wondering what was going on. Hoping and praying for good scan reports. Remember the Lord doesn't put on us anymore than we can bear even though we feel the world is on our shoulders. Keep looking to the Lord as he is all we have. We know this body is a temporary temple but, our heavenly body is eternal without pain or grief. I'm sure it's hard explaining to your child why she is suffering and I pray for the Lord to give you strength and wisdom.

Hang on, the research is paying off and new things are being developed. Maybe the chemo is just to keep you waiting for the 'real' medicine that is going to save you and keep you with us.

I check Taylor's site frequently. It feels like there is no hope sometimes. A researcher whose e-mail I sent you a while ago is working on gene therapy. Maybe a breakthrough is closer than you think. Maybe Taylor can be a subject on that trial, as it is for metastatic Ewings. Just don't give up hope. There may be an answer for Taylor sometime, hopefully soon!

Hi Taylor and family
My name is Jenna and I came across your website. You are one amazing and strong girl. I will be praying that you fight this terrible disease and that the chemo helps. Sometimes it is hard to stay positive, I know this because I have trouble at times by staying positive about my fight with my disease. What hepls when I am feeling down is to think of something or someone who makes me feel happy, and to smile.

I see you as having a lot of faith and with that you have all kept walking on this road. I will keep Taylor in my prayers, all of you as well. I miss seeing all of you and have been checking in on her site to make sure you are all doing well. God bless you and continue to stay strong. "He will never leave you nor forsake you."

Prayers for all of you...you caught the mistake now...and God has been in control the whole time...it's hard to think we are the ones making the decisions and what we feel are the mistakes...we are human...hang in there....
Finally signing your guest book again!...things have just been a little hectic here. Our 2nd annual Car Wash was a HUGE success...we more than doubled last year's funds raised! :) (Newspaper story at: http://sheboygan-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060810/SHE0401/608100584/1097/SHElife ) We would love to add Taylor into our program...just send me an email. And as always, I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

Dear Taylor and family,
I found your website through Jacob Duckwoth's. I will add you to my prayer list and think of you daily.
I live in CA and have two children a daughter 17 and a son 15. My husband and I have both had cancer(me breast and my husband squamos cell from his lip that even after surgery migrated to his lypm nodes)
Taylor-I have gone thru chemo(though not what you are going through) Picture a haapy place and plan the next day, I can tell by your picture-you are a brave strong girl, with a family who loves you. I will be praying daily.

Dear May Kay,
I understand how you feel completely about the medication issue. My son takes phenobarital to control seizures. Two years ago the neurologist accidently wrote the script for a 30 mg. pill when he had always gotten a 15 mg. pill. I didn't notice the difference as the pills look exactyl alike. He took a double dose daily for about 6 months. During that time I noticed an overall decline in him. I kept bringing it to the dr.s attention but she couldn't come up with an explanation. Finally when she wrote the script the next time the error was found. I am so sorry for all the anxiety this is causing you. I am glad everything is straightened out now!

Taylor looks wonderful in the latest picture. Glad that she and Jordan are adjusting so well to Middle School. My granddaughter who is in the 2nd grade at Bevis asked about Taylor a couple of days ago and was worried about not seeing her in school. I told her that she was now going to Randall and she said she is glad that she is well enough to go to school.
You are always in my thoughts.

Taylor is beautiful outside as well as inside. Taylor has a heart of gold that continues to shine through in her smile and her deep love for others. No matter what the scans reveal remember that God is bigger and His plan prevails. F.R.O.G. is how each of us focus and as a reminder that each day is a blessing that only God can provide. Find peace in God's love and His love for Taylor and all children of God. Let all children come to Jesus as He will lead them every step of the way.
Hang in there Mary Kay! We are all here to support you during this journey but never lose sight that God is there with you carrying you through. You are an awesome mother to Taylor and Jordan and they love you very much. Call upon those near to support you during those quiet hours during school. Enjoy the time for you - out to lunch, coffee at Starbuck's, whatever it is that gives you comfort and strength.
Lifting your family in prayer,

I find these verses some of the most amazing in all of Scripture. Yes, I'm here praying for for you and your family, but what's infinitely better is the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for YOU, perfectly according to His Will.
Rom.8:26-27: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

I am so glad Taylor got to go to school the first two days! Middle school days sure do seem long -- getting home at 4:30 (well, more like 4:45 - 5:00 these past two days due to late bus) is hard. Starting at 9:00 and then going to lunch at 10:35 stinks, too! Are you guys starving by the time you get home from school or do have an afternoon teacher that allows you to have a snack? Brady gets to take a snack and eat it at the beginning of 4th block. Anyway, enough rambling. I hope Taylor is feeling well and continues to do so. Stay strong.

I'll bet you sure saw some sights are the waterparks. I'm sure you didn't see anything like I saw at Church yes, Church a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get anything out of the service only could tell you who preached. I don't think the men got much out of it either. I know my 16 year son and nephew got their eyes full. It was a scandal. I hope people don't think they look good. Anyway that was a good laugh. Hoping and praying things go well for Taylor this week and she makes it to school. Keep looking to the Lord.

I just received the welcome packet from Bevis for my granddaughter, Lauren, who is entering 2nd grade and immediately thought of Taylor and Jordan. They are embarking on a new phase in their school life, which I am sure is scary for all of you. Being with the "big" kids is a whole new ballgame. I want to wish Taylor and Jordan the best of luck on this new adventure. Praying for Taylor's health to improve.

Thanks for the update and insight! Glad that both YOU and Taylor are doing better! I have already started praying that Taylor is able to go to school--not only for the first few days, but more so this year altogether! And, as always, I pray for Taylor's healing-emotionally and physically. I get upset same as you when I hear about how Taylor gets down and feels different from her peers. Having a great sister like Jordan helps I'm sure! May God continue to bless your family with encouragement and peace!!!

Mary Kay,
I have been following Taylor for some time now and I just had to add an entry to tell you that you are an exceptional woman and a wonderful mom. Your updates are so honest and so forthright and you give me lots to think about. You are so right about the difference between just getting by and actually being nourished. So many of us just exist and don't get nourished by God's word. Thank you for your words. I will continue to pray for Taylor and for your guidance with her treatments and that she gets to go to school next week!

Mary Kay, Taylor and Jordon: It was good to see all of you, and I am so glad that you all got to come "home". Also, it was good to see my Big Sister-Judy. I am so thankful for the time spent with you all. Know that I love you all and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. As I saw you and the girls and when I hugged you goodbye, I didn't want to you to leave, my heart ached for what you all continue to go through. The thoughts that came to mind were, we'll never understand why and its not our place to understand, but whatever you are facing, God's Glory will be revealed. Something good is going to come of this disease and all its havoc. Ps. 31:14-15 "But I trust in you, Oh Lord; I say, "You are my God." My times are in your hands....".

Hi, Taylor and Family! I have been following this website for quite some time and was surprised when I got your mom's e-mail! I just wrote you back, Mary Kay. I forgot about it and then I was looking at pictures of Jake's trip to Seattle and saw Taylor in them and remembered I never answered your e-mail! I hope it cools down for you guys some down there in OK! We used to live in Tampa! We lived there in '92 and then eventually moved closer to Orlando where we were for 5 years before moving back to Omaha. We lived in apartments just south of the Gandy Bridge and I went to grad classes at USF - small world! And then to find out you guys are from Oklahoma! Anyway, I hope the rest of your trip is great and that Taylor catches up on rest and feels good for the trip home! Jake was pretty pooped too when he got home from Seattle! What a great trip for these kids. You guys are in our prayers!

Hey Taylor and Family,
I am the president of a new volunteer organization called, Monarch Cancer Volunteer Team. We work towards helping cancer patients, cancer survivors and, the family and friends of those who have passed away from cancer. The main inspiration for starting this group was my close friend Maddie Paguyo. She passed away on May 6th, 2004 from Diffuse Pontine Glioma. This organization was founded in honor of Maddie’s effort to always help others.
I am writing to you to ask for your permission to help out your family. Whether it be a card, or the occasional care package or financial support, we want to be there for your family. Many of the members in this group know how hard it can be going through cancer, either from a close relative or friend or from the vivid stories they have heard. We know these times are not easy and we want to be there to help lighten the load for you.
Please let us know if you are open to our aid. Either e-mail us at monarch_volunteers@yahoo.com or contact us by telephone at 612-325-7230. Thank you and we will keep you in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Brittany Dahlen and the rest of Monarch <monarch_volunteers@yahoo.com>

I will continue to pray for you and your family. I know that even as an adult (with problems and troubles that don't compare to the frustrating and scary world of cancer), I feel that way too sometimes. I just want to run away from it all. Taylor, I am praying at those times especially, you will feel God's arms wrap around you in His infinite love.

My heart goes out to all of you for everything you are going through. It seems like forever since sweet Taylor was diagnosed, and she has been so brave through her battle. We will be sending extra prayers your way for God to cover Taylor with peace! I have never met you, but Taylor was in 2nd grade with my son, Spencer. I also volunteer at Bevis. My good friend is Sherry Tucker, who just lost her son, Zach. We talked at our small group last night about all the kids we are praying for who are walking in this journey. I just wanted to let you know the exponential numbers of prayers that are coming your way. I truly hope this helps.

I'll tell you what. If I was Taylor I would be having meltdowns everyday. She has that right whenever she feels like having one. She is so strong.

If you get the sanity, can I borrow some? Please, call me if you need anything. Love you guys, keep fighting. You never know what might be around the corner.

Taylor is a strong, courageous young woman and as I have seen through your writings the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I admire your courage and strength more than you know Mary Kay, you're an awesome mommy. I love the quote from Taylor, very poignant. I know that combined with your support and love and God's blessings, Taylor will get through this with her hands firmly holding on to the grass. We love you guys,

Since I am Taylor and Jordan's grandmother, I have never signed in the guest book. But I just want to say to Mary, Cary, Taylor and Jordan that I have never known a braver person in my life. Taylor is happy and stays upbeat all the time. When we talk on the phone she is so sweet, no matter how she may feel. I think part of the reason is because she has a wonderful family, all of whom show her tremendous love and affection. Everyone who comes into contact with Taylor falls in love. She is that kind of child. Jordan is a huge help. You can see and feel the love between them. She is never made to feel left out thanks to the additional help from grammy Judy. But Mom and Dad are always there for her, too. We love our visits with them and are constantly amazed at what great children they truly are. Thank you Mary for helping to keep Taylor with us. She is my hero.

You have such a purpose, whether you like it or not! I know that alot of the time it would be wonderful to not have so much to bare but you are making a difference in this world. You are helping so many people. I think those of us that have to go through this do so for a reason. God is right there with you through all of it. Please know that I too am here whenever you need it. You don't have to do it by yourself, anytime you want I will be there with you. Just as you have done for me.

Taylor keep pushing ahead. My heart was saddened at the fact you are struggling with all the medical needs. While tears were shed as I read momma's posting I lifted you in prayer as our Lord can provide strength, hope and direction during your down times. You are an awesome advocate for childhood cancer and their are many families who appreciate your dedication to finding a cure. Take care sweetie and know that many are lifting you in prayer.

I haven't left a message in your guestbook in a long time, but I do check on Taylor regularly. It breaks my heart to read about her breathing difficulties and the bad cough. She is certainly one tough cookie, I know few if any adults who could go through what she has had to endure. Please know that Taylor is continually in my prayers, as is Jordan and your entire family. I pray that God will take away the cough and restore Taylor's strength this week. I'm also praying for rest and peace for the rest of you, that your hurting spirits will be lifted and that love and laughter will fill the holes in your hearts. Those girls are just gorgeous, and I am honored to have the privilege to pray for them. God hears the prayers of His children and I just know He WILL heal Taylor and she will live a full and happy life. I'm claiming that promise for Taylor!

Mary Kay,
I just read Tuesdays entry and want to share something with you that my sister used to say when my nephew had Ewings. Sometimes it is more important to let them be kids and not treat them like they are sick. And sometimes (even though it has complications for them) a cold is just a cold. Let's hope my sister is right about the cold. I know she was right about letting our Jay be 'normal' when he needed to be.

Oh Mary Kay,
I'm so sorry she's feeling down. Patrick and my boys all seem to be having some sinus/allergy issues. Lets just pray thats what it is for Taylor too. I know that you are a little down right now,its to be expected. But, I BELIEVE she WILL get better. No offense to anyone but sometimes doctors have no idea what they are talking about. You know that, I've seen that a ton of times. Taylor will beat this, I just know it. Have fun in D.C. if you get to make it. You will do great. If you need anything let me know. Tell Cary and the girls we said hi. See you soon, take care.

Thisis the verse that our 6,7 and 8 year old class just had to learn. "Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen the, yea I will help thee. I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness"

I am so sorry that Taylor is feeling poorly and that you sound so discouraged. I thought that maybe with the pressure of school being over for a while, Taylor would do better, physically. I wish that I could offer you more than just signing in here, but I want you to know that Taylor and the rest of your family are in my thoughts everyday. There are three children that I follow everyday, Jacob Duckworth, Jake Raborn and Taylor and my heart breaks when I read what the children and their families must endure.

Dear Mrs. Arrington-I just spoke with you about Taylor-and wanted to check and see if she had a Caring Bridge Site. She and Jordan are both beautiful-and I know you must be very proud of both of them. Each of them has had to demonstrate courage and spirit well beyond their years. I am adding them, and you and your husband to my prayer list immediately. Our God is a mighty one-and He can do great things. I am praying daily for comfort for Taylor, wisdom for the doctors and peace for your hearts. Please know you are not alone.

Thanks for the update and hoping Taylor gets stronger and stronger. I guess you will need to store up some strength, also, because of the shopping you will now have to do for Middle School. I am sure the girls are looking forward to wearing "real" clothes to school. Wishing you a peaceful Summer full of fun. Taylor and Jordan are examples of how we all hope our children will be.

Lithia (Fishhawk Ranch, Heron Glen), - Wednesday, May 31, 2006 8:03 AM CDT
Just to let you know, I was another mom with tears at the "Clap Out." It is always quite moving. As the mother of a daughter going into NINTH grade -- I MISS the uniforms! I absolutely LOVED them at Bevis (so easy and so much LESS expensive!)! I wish (though I know my children disagree with me) we had them in middle school and high school! Brady is pretty easy but it is really hard to find the appropriate clothes for my Taylor to wear to school. I am so excited to see the Bermuda shorts!
Taylor, I am glad you got to go to the picnic and SeaWorld. You are one strong young lady. I really admire you and Jordan (and your whole family) for your strength. I hope you are feeling better and can have a SUPER summer vacation. It will be over before we know it. We are pretty excited that in 2007 school will start so much later than in the previous years! Plus, we will get an extra two weeks that first year!

Good luck with no uniforms, I'm sure the girls will love it. I sure like just waking the boys up and throwing on their khaki's and green shirts. Have a great week, I'm sure I'll talk to you soon. We are praying for you guys always.

Just wanted to let you know that my prayers are continuing for all of you. Yes, the focus that we choose makes such a difference on our attitude. Not always easy to focus on the good...but the peace that comes with it is worth the effort.
The quote I chose for this week can be applied to all areas of our lives…not just the
worry for our loved ones, but of the bills getting paid, our other children’s
woes, of any obstacle that stands in our way of peace. It has always brought
me peace to remember God has already been to tomorrow and has seen it. He
will give me what I need, when I need, and where I need it because I am never
out of His grasp.
“As we face the uncertainties that today may bring, we have the assurance
that God knows what we are facing, He is in touch with what is happening
to us, and He is concerned. God is the God of grace and hope. With God’s
perspective, we can trace his hand on our lives and see that He has
transformed the bad things to good, just as He promised He would.”
From Grace for a Woman’s Soul.
May this week be filled with the certainty of His love for you.
Prayers continue…
Angel Hugs!

Um, I don't think anyone can top your week. Worrying about Taylor is enough without all the other. My cat is 12 and just lets me live in my house. She rules. That freezer thing was a gift in that it showed you the ants...don't you hate dealing with people about repairs? That is where I lose it! Praying for you this weekend and for Taylor and the rest of the family. May God give you peace and comfort and healing. Psalm 91 may be soothing for you.
Connie Powell
West Monroe, LA - Friday, May 12, 2006 8:47 AM CDT
I know it must be hard to deal with just the fact that your child is sick without everything happening at one time. Everything happens for a reason. If you can see why things happen it is not so bad, like the freezer and the ant mound. Yes you can be thankful God let you see this or you would have had more trouble. We are praying for Taylor especially with her nose bleeds, They are no fun. They are scarey, especially since they don't stop when they start. We are praying for her platelets to go up beyond what they need to. Taylor, be strong, take courage. Let the family draw strength from you and you draw strength from them. Draw strength from everyone who is praying for you. God is in control. He is never late. We serve an on time God all the time. He is just a prayer away. He hears your every need, your every word.

Hi Mary Kay. I check on Taylor and you guys often. I can't remember how I came across this site (it seems I know too many children with caringbridge sites), but you all have become precious to me. I won't pretend that I know what you are going through, but from one overwhelmed mother to another..... Stay Strong Sister!

Mary Kay, what a week! You could write a book about your adventures with the creatures at your house ( a thought - ha, maybe you will.) God has gifted you with expression, and if you were not feeling so terrible, I would just laugh and cry with you about all the creature adventures at your house. Ever heard the expression "when it rains, it pours." Well, it seems to be doing that, but after the rain comes the rainbows. May God send you and Taylor a double rainbow this week and bless you with his arms of love. You are in my prayers daily. Vent all you want, thats what the prayer warriors are for. We'll listen, and then lift you up to Our Heavenly Father when you don't have the strength to carry on yourself. Know that we love you all.

Prayers for wisdom and guidance and healing...
Rather than a quote for the week…I’ve chosen a prayer for the week…this prayer I’ve said for you and my hope is it brings you the comfort and peace you need for the coming trials of this life…
“My Creator, blessed is your presence.
For you and you alone give me power to walk
Through dark valleys into the light again.
You and you alone give me hope when there
Seems no end to my suffering. You and you
Alone give me peace when the noise of
My life overwhelms me. I ask that you give
This same power, hope, and peace to all who
Know discouragement, that they, too,
May be emboldened and renewed by
Your everlasting love.
Amen.”
From Prayers of Comfort
May this week bring you faith, hope, and peace.
Prayers continue…

My heart aches with you. May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you divine guidance in the treatment avenue you should take for Taylor. May He make it crystal clear to you what path to take next. Cherish each moment and live life to the fullest. My prayer is that God will give you joy and peace - for joy comes in the morning. I have a son who has been deaf since birth and I want to share with you one of his favorite poems- may it speak to you as it has to us for many years. (he found this on a coffee cup of all places - one of his favorite drinks) "When life gets a little rocky, please remember without the rain, there would be no rainbows...Without the winter, there would be no spring... Every trial carries within it the potential for triumph, waiting to be brought forth...by you (and God he added- for he knows it is only with God's help that we can triumph).

Hey guys,
I see you got the bar put together, it looks great, the girls do too. I'm glad the actual scans look a little better than you thought. Also, glad you were as happy about standing up as Patrick was (just kidding). He was a little uncomfortable but as you say God puts us in our place. He goes back to Moffit on Monday, for a week. I just want you to know Mary Kay how proud I feel to be your friend and how proud I am of you. You are such an inspiration to Taylor and ALL of us. We will continue praying for you all everyday. Remind me to tell you about the dentist. Take Care! Love you guys!

I’ve chosen this quote for the week for we all need The Ever Lasting Well of Hope to refresh us but especially the parents of children with cancer and the children themselves must drink from to replenish their hearts and souls….
“Hope from God is an anchor to the soul. It is not something worn lightly so that it is easily brushed aside. Hope that comes from Jesus Christ resides deep within your heart. It will never abandon you and if you look for it, you will find it there to encourage you in mighty ways. Hope is the very thing that keeps you from giving up when all the odds are stacked against you.” From Seeking His Face by Charles Stanley
May the Lord of Hope bless your souls this week and keep you in His care….

I have been checking your sight for months and pray for you and your family. When my children were in middle school they had a classmate battling a brain tumor and the kids all rallied behind her. They had bake sales they did cancer walks and they were a tremendous support for her. I am praying your daughter has the same experience!

Mary Kay, So glad you were able to do so well in school in the midst of all your worries and concerns. As far as middle school is concerned, I am sure that when school does start, Taylor will endear herself to her peers and they will include her in all the activities that kids that age enjoy. Middle school, I think, is the toughest age group, but just as she has toughed out all that has confronted her, she will, with all the love provided by you and the rest of your family, get through that also.
My best wishes for a better week.

This may be my first post in this guestbook...I've been lead here from another caring bridge page...and just wanted to let you know that I've added Taylor and your whole family to my prayer list...may the Lord give you all you need to travel on this journey...
I'm in the habit of usually signing the guest books and sharing with you a quote that I hope has some uplifting thoughts for you. I've had a child with cancer...and just want to send what little comfort I can in word form...
I've picked the next quote for this week...it reminds me of the determination we all need as mothers/father's/caregivers of a child with cancer and the children themselves...
“We can take a lesson from the precious water lily. For no matter what outside force or pressure is put upon the lily, it always rises back to the water’s surface again to feel the nurturing sunlight upon its leaves and petals. We must be like the lily, steadfast and true in the face of every difficulty, that we too may rise about our problems and feel God’s light upon our faces again.” From Prayers of Comfort.
And the only way to rise above is to hold onto our Father’s hand and live by His strength and love…
Hold on tight…
Prayers continue for your whole family…

You have so much wisdom and love - I am not used to you like that. You blow me away - I feel so lonely everyday that I don't know what the heck to do. So I pray - I try to get out and keep on keepin' on - I ain't dead yet so .....Happy Belated Easter - I love Ya - michael

Mary Kay,
I met you and your husband in the Brad Richards suite on April 8. My wife and I, our three kids (Red Heads)and friends attended the game. We have thought of you, Taylor, and your family often since meeting you and hearing your story and struggles. Sorry we did not get a chance to meet Taylor and Jordan. As you may remember, we are from Stratford, Prince Edward Island, Canada; not far from Brad's home town. One of the men in our group is a friend of Brads and very involved with the organization of the Brad Richards charity golf event held annually here in July.We are certainly impressed by Brad's involvement and charitable work both here and in Fla and are proud to call him an "Islander". After we got home from Fla my wife found this address you gave us. It is a moving an inspiring story. Our thoughts and hopes are with you all for a brighter future.

Oh my! Could anything else have gone wrong?! Guess I shouldn't ask that, though, huh? Yes, questions like that are so hard to answer. The only answer that can really be given is that the Lord knows why. He DID answer Taylor's prayer, just not the way any of us would have wanted it. Only He knows why He allowed the nose bleed to continue and the biggest one of all, why He's allowed Taylor to have Ewings in the first place. This is wehre faith and trust comes in. Trust that the Lord IS in control so when He allows these things to happen He does have a reason and will use it for good as He promised. Oh my prayers are with you so very much!!!!!!!
Jn 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Whew! That update wore me out. I don't know why some days are just like that (or weekends)...and it is always the ones we DON'T want to be that way...they are supposed to be special. I am just glad it is over for you and hoping this week is MUCH better. I am praying for Taylor's bleeding to stop. I am going to imagine her touching the hem of Jesus, that He will just say the word, and it will cease. I am also praying for you...it is hard to be a Mom under normal circumstances. And then you have all of these extra activities and hard questions...I am praying for God to give you His divine wisdom when you can't think of the answers...

I am so sorry that Taylor AND Jordan had such a rough weekend and will pray that this new week will start off better and the nosebleed will go away quickly! May God show Himself to you in ways only He can this week and bless you all as you have blessed us in your updates that remind us that we're human but thankfully we have a God that is in control when we're NOT!!!

I certainly didn't expect to find such a "bummer" of an update. So sorry that Taylor continues to endure such difficulties, both mentally and physically, not to mention the rest of your family. I know religion plays a big part in your lives and you are always trying to hold on to your faith, but it is perfectly understandable that you would have doubts. Hoping (and praying) that Taylor will improve and you will enjoy better days.

Hi Taylor and family. I would like to get in touch with you guys to let you know about something that I am doing. I am the "Honorary Mayor of Apollo Beach" and am getting ready to start my next campaign. You have to choose a charity and raise money. Half of the monies collected goes to the Chamber and the other half goes to the Charity of your choice. Last year I did the CHildren's Home and this year would like to do Pediatric Cancer. I would love to hear from you guys on whether I can do something locally to beneift you and your family or if there is just a local charity through St. Joseph's that I can support.
Please feel free to call me anytime. The campaign starts April 15th and goes through the end of June.
Thank you so much and i am so glad that I read the Tampa Tribune... I've read all about you over the years! My neice actually went to kindergarten w/ you I think!!!

Hi! My name is Kellie and my son, Jake, who is 9, had Ewing's Sarcoma of his skull and is now in remission 2 years. I got your website address from Katia's. I have read through Taylor's page. She is one amazing girl. My son just went on that Circle of Friends trip in Wisconsin this past February and had a great time! He is planning on going to the reunion trip in Seattle this summer too. I wanted to tell you about a friend of ours whose name is Tanner. She is 7 and and relapsed Ewing's after 6 mos of remission from non-metastatic disease. Her original tumor was in her skull and then she relapsed to her brain. She was not getting any hope from the docs at UCLA so she moved to Omaha to be treated by our docs here. She went through chemo, stem cell transplant and then total spine and brain proton beam radiation at Loma Linda. She is currently off all treatment since this fall and back in full remission. I know two other relapsed Ewing's patients also - one in San Diego and one in Minnesota - and they are doing well. Taylor is not alone and despite the odds, she can win this battle. Keep the faith! Taylor sounds like an amazing girl and such an inspiration! Keep up the good fight, Taylor! You are a warrior! Tanner's site is www.tannerville.com. Jake's site is below and I have a link to Tanner's site on there too. Many prayers to you and your family!

May God continue to give you passion and energy to do. We will lift Taylor up in prayer and pray for the Lord to watch over her and protect her.
Your Habbakuk quote was really interesting, becuase it's my scripture. Long story...

Hi Taylor and family,
My name is Michelle Sims and I have never met you personally, but I have heard of you many times. You might remember me from one of the Lightning games (I gave you a pink bracelet with a cancer charm on it). It's called a Sydlet - made to help fund a cure for my daughter, Sydney's, cancer treatment. She has Neuroblastoma, and we go to Al Children's in St Pete, and also Sloan Kettering in NY. We are in NY right now, actually. Sydney will be in the fashion show next week also, so hopefully, we can officially meet then. She is also going to be following in your footsteps by starting the Relay for Life on March 31 in Fish Hawk. We hope you are getting to feel better, and can't wait to meet you soon. If you want Sydney's web site it's www.caringbridge.org/fl/sydneysims

Hey Taylor! You are lookin good in those pictures! What a star! I don't think I would have wanted to give the clothes back either! Just wanted to say hi and I hope you have fun at the fashion show! I'm certainly jealous! I should be back at the Thursday night meetings once summer starts so I look forward to seeing you there! Miss you and Jordan!

Taylor, I LOVE the picture. What a star you are! And I don't blame you for not wanting to give up that fur. I could use some right now myself...it is quite chilly in Northwest Arkansas. I can say it is not the spring break I was hoping for. ;) Last year at this time I was in your neck of the woods. I remember it rained alot, but it was warmer than this. (We have a chance for snow) Anyway, I am praying for that limp to just disappear (and only God will get the glory for that one!)...and that your mom can have a driver every now and then. :)

Praying for you in all situations and knowing that God never leads us astray and NEVER leaves us alone! The story of Wade Boggs cracked me up! Kids are kids, no matter their circumstances. No wonder God tells us to be more like them! May God lay His Hand on Taylor in a very special way!

You made me laugh with the story of Wade Boggs and Taylor. When Mikayla and Taylor did the commercial and the billboard , all Mikayla was excited about was the Mercedes Benz not Derrek Brooks! She could have cared less about some guy who plays football. LOL!
Taylor and Jordan have an awesome time at the fishing derby. Catch a big smelly one.
As always we continue to ask for God's divine guidance and mercy for Taylor.

I think The Cheesecake Factory for your great grades sounds awesome!!! I am sad to say that Kansas does not have a Cheesecake Factory. I think our closest one is in KC Missouri. I do search them out when we vacation!

I have been following both Taylor and Jacob and, of course, wish both sweet children a full and complete recovery. What amazes me the most about the Caringbridge Family is that with all the problems you have, you find the time to look out for each other. People like you, Heather and many other parents are what we need out there so that everyone can feel loved and cared for. (Sorry for getting so soppy).

Hi, Taylor! What a cute little puppy! My children are REALLY, REALLY wanting a puppy! I think that time will be coming SOON (MUCH SOONER than my husband and I want!). I have heard using a cage gives the puppy a sense of security (it is his/her "den") AND cuts down on "accidents." Just a thought! I hope you are feeling better and are able to sleep (and Mom, too!). We are praying for you, Taylor, and your family, too. Stay strong!

Good morning,Mary Kay (and I certainly hope it is a better one for you today). So sorry that Taylor is feeling so crummy lately, but she will get through this, just like she always does. You need to relieve yourself of some of this stress and continue to be strong for her. I know it is easy for me to say, but you will need the strength to go forward with a positive attitude. I can only imagine how Jordan feels when Taylor is feeling so poorly. I know how close they are. I wish you all well and have you in my thoughts.

Hello Taylor and family!
I found your CB page via the Amazing Jacob's page, and have been checking in for a while now. I figured it was time I signed and let you know there is another person praying for clean scans for Taylor!
The new puppy is SO cute! I can sense the frustration in your voice, and I am sorry about that. Puppies are a LOT of work! Can I offer a house breaking tip? It usually works in 2-3 weeks, if done consistently. The instructions are rather long to type out, but very simple to do, so I won't clog up your guest page but will email you instead.
Here's to a good week! FROGGING daily!

Hi MaryKay,
I couldn't help but look right at you as I started this song today...especially the third and fourth lines of the song. This is a song by Ginni Owens and she is a wonderful christian artist who creates alot of beautiful music and she is completely blind. Just wanted to share these lyrics with you and let you know that you were in my thoughts.
If You Want Me To
The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don’t know the reason
Why You brought me here
But just because You love me
The way that You do
I’m gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to
Cause I’m not who I was
When I took my first step
And I’m clingin’ to the promise
You’re not through with me yet
So if all of these trials
Bring me closer to You
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way
I would have chosen
When You lead me through a world
that’s not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I’ll never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me
And I’m all by myself
And I can’t hear You answer
my cries for help
I’ll remember the suff’ring
Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If you want me to

The girls' baby pictures are adorable!! You left us hanging, though - I want to know if I guessed correctly as to which one is which. One time you had me looking at baby pictures of the girls at your house and I guessed incorrectly that time. This time I am sure I have it right. Please tell us which one is Taylor and which one is Jordan. I hope that Taylor had a better weekend. In fact, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We'll be praying for Taylor this week as she starts her next round of chemo. Mary Kay, your faith in God is so inspirational. Thank you for sharing it with us. Lots of love...

I love the picture! They look like tiny baby angels sent from heaven. I want you to know we pray all the time for Taylor's healing. Mikayla is always asking about her and Jacob D. She tells everyone they are both miracles. I agree!
You are right about Taylor being perfect in God's eyes. He loves her so much, you just know he hurts right along with his children.
We love you all very much. We'll keep the faith for you here in Lakeland!

I LOVE the picture of the girls at 3 months!! Your entry, reflecting on the last two years, made the words hope and miracle come to mind. I'm glad you don't base all of your thoughts on the percentages you have been given. That would be a real disservice to your daughter. She's proven to be a fighter, I pray that she wins.

What a great picture. It reminds me of their first Christmas when we got Taylor, Jordan and Austin together. Your girls looked so small and cute and Austin was just a hoss! I still laugh when I run across the pics. I am sorry to hear Taylor has not felt her best. I hope she is feeling better soon. We are busy with football. Austin travels around to small Kansas towns to play. Allie cheers for Austin's team and Cameron just wears us out during the games.
Take care.

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
HI MaryKay,
this verse made me think of you after reading your recent journal entry. You have such amazing faith!
I love the picture of the girls..precious!

The picture of the girls is adorable. As soon as I looked at that I thought about how Josh is the same age as the girls and it was just yesterday that he was a 3 month old baby. Now they are all in 5th grade!
Your entry was so encouraging and it was such a good reminder that God is in control and He loves Taylor more than we could ever know.
We are praying!

What beautiful babies! Thank you for your entry today. I often "lurk" to check on Taylor and know how to pray for her. But today I was truly blessed by your words. May God use your lives from the past two years to draw others near. I know my own faith was stregthened today. Thank you. (I will pray that Taylor continues to feel better, and that this time next year, you will be looking back and thinking about how glad you are to be done with all of this cancer stuff!)

Hi Taylor,
Wow!!!! We just saw you on TV--you were on the commercial while my mom and dad were watching the news. You looked great!! That must have been a lot of fun for you. I hope you are feeling okay and school is going good for you. We are almost done with the first nine weeks. I can't believe it, can you? School is okay so far, but i can't wait until we get some days off! Talk to you soon!

Mary Kay: A friend of mine sent me this today and I wanted to share it with you. Please know that I'm thinking and praying for Taylor daily.
God still sits on the throne.
God knows that you are going through tough times right now
but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.
Keep the faith.
This prayer is powerful.
The prayer:
Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those I care
deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new
revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister
to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them
Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed
confidence through Your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to
fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their
goings and their comings. In Jesus' precious name.
Amen.

Got your website from Pam sometime ago and immediately lost it so talked to her today and got it again. You remember how I do things!! It was good to read the report on Taylor, she has been in my prayers daily since we got the news. It was shortly after we had such a wonderful visit and lunch together at Olive Gardens in Tulsa. I'm not real good on the computer, but did see the picture of Taylor. Pam said the picture of Judy was wonderful. Hi Judy. I pray favor over you and your family, Mary Kay. I love you and God Bless, Aletha

Hi Taylor...we just wanted to drop in to let you know you are in are prayers. We've singed before but it's been a while so we thought we would drop you another note. You know my nephew (Cory LaRoe). His mom, Lynn LaRoe, is my sister. I met your sister Jordan when my family and I were down visiting last year. Hope you are enjoying school - I understand school starts a little earlier in FL than it does up here in CT! By the way - the picture of you and your sister is absolutely beautiful!

I'm glad you had so much fun at the water park. Wow - you are so brave to go down those slides. I would be a big chicken with those slides. :)
I hope you and Jordan are having a great school year. I'm sure you both make great teachers helpers.
Mary Kay - the news about the drug company and the treatment is so frusterating. I will be praying specifically for something positive to happen with that. It doesn't seem right and hopefully through answered prayers something will change.

Hi, Taylor and Family! I hope you are having a good summer and enjoying (?) this unbearable heat! I can't believe school starts next week -- we are NOT ready to go back. Even though Taylor is going into 8th grade and Brady 5th, I still have tears on the first stay of school. Weird, huh!?! I guess I just miss them when they first go to school. And Carter will miss them, too! Enjoy your last week of vacation! Stay strong!

Hey Mary Kay and Taylor
Just read the update. Sorry you are not feeling well Taylor, I pray everyday for your recovery and know God has a plan for you. Mary Kay, another Bible verse you need to remember is Psalms 118:8 "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man" They say that is the exact center of the bible and that many believe it is God's will for our lives. Keep it in mind. I am glad your mom and Jordan made it back ok. I know Judy had a tough time while she was here. I will continue to pray and tell the girls hello for me.

Hi Girls! My daughter read the book "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and gave it to me...I started it, but misplaced it in our move! I bought her the second book and she read it as well. I guess I will have to see the movie, since I have yet to find the book. I am sure it is in a rubbermaid in the basement, but that is like a needle in a haystack, we have close too 100 rubbermaids we packed in for our move! Where does all this stuff come from?? We are getting ready to go visit my dad who just had a bypass heart surgery and came home from the hospital. That's about all I have been doing lately, driving back and forth!! Wow, thunderstorms are starting here too now! Take care ~HUGS~

Mary Kay and family,
We are all so happy Taylor is doing well. Prayers are being sent above and answered. God is Good all the time. We love you all very much.
The update before this one really knocked me for a loop. You are right about the "hall of screams" in the hospital. Mikayla and I both "know" what you're talking about. It brought us both back. We used to pray for each and every child on the floor that didn't have a mommy to hold at night. Most people don't realize that's the way it is for some families. They cannot be with their ill child because they must work to have the insurance. So Sad!
Anyways, we are glad your family and communtiy is doing all it can to help you out during this challenging time. Blessings from everyone, how wonderful is that?!
Tell the girls we love them and we hope to see you soon. Keep those updates coming.

You are more than entitled to have a breakdown! 1 day is long enough for the amount of stress you hold in, I couldn't imagine 2 years! You are a TERRIFIC mother and person! You are beautiful inside and out! You show so much love to all around you. Please if you need anything....let me know. Even if its an ear to scream into! Many love filled hugs to you!

Dear Taylor and family,
My name is Kerry and I work with your dad Carey(I hope I spelled it correctly..sorry if I didn't). I saw pictures of you and your family on Carey's desk and I began to ask him some questions...I am not nosey, just curious. I began to tell your father about a severe head injury I received in Aug 1997 when I was hit by a car that was speeding and ran a red light....I just wanted to share with you that I am alive by the Grace of God too. I just wanted to tell you that I am a fervent Christian and firm believer in prayer. I told your dad that I would put you on the prayer chain at church that they had me on too. My faith is so strong in God's faithfulness so my husband and I want to place your family in our prayers together each morning too. It would be great if I could have a photo of your family to place on our refrigerator so we can pray for you all each time we go to the fridge (which is quite a bit!). If that is okay, then just let your dad know and give him a picture to give to me at work. Even though I have never met all of you, I have enough love to give each one of you. Stay strong and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope to meet you all one day. God Bless! Love, Kerry Curtin

Hi, Taylor! I heard the "Jump for Taylor" was a great success! I hope you know that you have the support and prayers of so many people. It probably seems strange to you that people you barely know (me!) or don't know at all are checking up on you and leaving you personal messages. So many people care about you and your family! I hope you are all doing well. We are SO ready for summer vacation! Have a GREAT week! Stay strong!

Hi Arrington's
Thinking about all of you--wondering how the "Jump for Taylor" went yesterday at school. I am sure it was a success!!! We hope you are feeling well Taylor and staying out of the hospital!! You really are an amazing little girl, but with all the people that have told you that already, you probably know that by now!!! Only 2 1/2 more days of school left--and 0 days of homework!!!! YEAH! YEAH! Talk to you soon!

Hi, Taylor! I hope you and Jordan are both feeling better by now. That stinks that you had to spend the weekend in the hospital! Brady is pretty excited about the "Jump for Taylor" tomorrow. Hey, after today only 4 1/2 days of school left! I can't wait! Brady has his end of the year math test today and I hope that is it for major academics for the year! Of course, my Taylor doesn't have exams until next week. Can you believe they have an exam on the last day of school!?! I think that is pretty lousy! Have a GREAT day!

Hi Taylor, I first saw you at Newsome High School, riding a Harley around the track for the Cancer Walk. You are such a beautiful girl. You have been in my prayers since that day. Wish you all God's blessing, which we know can do any miracle. Hannah Pridemore and my granddaughter Kimberly, are good friends, so when I mentioned I saw you she told me she knew you. So now we both say prayers for you each night. Keep your beautiful smile, makes people very happy to see it on your face.

God is surely watching over you too. Just to be able to sort through everything and have the strength to 'pick it all apart and then try to put it back together', is a miracle. So many times, I was so overwhelmed I couldn't find my way through clearly. Go with your guts. I have heard so many stories of survival because of parents following another path than the doctor's. One doctor we deal with admitted he "doctors don't always have all the answers nor the right ones".
I check your site often and I really admire your courage and determination. Each day is full of miracles. May God continue to guide you and hold all of you close. Our prayers are with you and your family and we pray for Taylor's healing.
Sincerely,
Tricia Lester (Emily's Mom from the CCC) <pplester169@aol.com>

Hi, there. What a wonderful, astute mom you are! You are amazing! I can't believe the doctors missed that. Your mother's intuition was right on. I am so glad the mentality has changed. I know the chemo has been hard on Taylor's body and I hope it isn't so bad this time. To have this additional new found hope is awesome! I am glad that Taylor is feeling well and hope that this is her cure! Continuing to pray for Taylor's cure and peace and strength for all of you.

She truly is an amazing little girl. She and her sister are absolutely adorable. I know they had fun working the front desk!! I can't wait to come back and visit the center again. They are great kids.

Hi Tayor and family - just got your site from a friend who sends daily prayer requests. Praying for the Lord to put His healing hand on you and bring you comfort each day as you go through these physical trials. Trusting that the cell transplants from Jordan will take hold if this should be done. Trust in the Lord each day, I'm a cancer survivor and it was only through the Lord's touch on my body and healing me that this was accomplished. I thank Him every day and know He will also be with you always. John 14:1 - Let not your heart be troubled - trust in God, 1 Peter 5:7 -Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you. Praying for you.

There are so many wonderful people out there! I am very happy to be able to do something to make Taylor smile and I hope she enjoys them! I will send the package asap, as soon as I receive it!

Keeping you deep in our prayers. I am sorry to hear that Taylor is sad, you said she will only wear the "doo rags" and that they are hard to come by...is there somewhere we can order them from for her? Is there a pattern to make them? I make doll clothes for the American Girl Dolls and if given a pattern for these, I could probably make some for Taylor. I will search and make some calls...if anyone out there knows of a pattern or has one I could "take apart" for a pattern, please let me know ( heresmoo@earthlink.net) I would be so happy to be able to do something. We will keep your family in our prayers. God Bless You!

Disease/sickness is not from God. All good things come from the Lord. The very nature of God is to heal. Nature heals us, and it is within the nature of our bodies to fight off disease/sickness. When nature and/or our bodies can no longer fight off a disease, God has provided us with his power and Holy Spirit to begin his healing. Acts 10:38 "how God annointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him". God is Healing. Continually praying for you and your entire family. Hello to Big Sister Judy, I love you and miss you. Remember John 14:1 "Do not let your hears be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me (Jesus)."

Recently we were looking at Connor's scrapbook and saw a picture of when you visited us in Colorado Springs! How all of you have grown.
I'm so glad you had fun at your makeovers! It sounded like you had a great time... especially the car ride. Have a wonderful weekend. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I met Taylor & her Dad at the kick off for Relay for Life this January. My daughter, Alyson, recently passed away from osetosarcoma. I know the pain you are going through, the fear, the anger. Alyson's disease was very agressive. God chooses special people to deliver his message. Why our children are "choosen", I haven't a clue. This is not a club anyone wants to join. However, all of God's chosen ones have had to endure hardships in life. Continue to walk in faith, not fear. You are right, God's got your back. Only those of us who have lived through this can truly understand (and for those who have never had to, I pray that they never do). I am good friends with Susan Miller (Mikayla's mom). If you ever need anything (even if it is a cup of tea, or someone to cry with, I am here = I only live a down the road). Sorry to ramble, but my heart is heavy for you, and I pray God's plan for Taylor is for health and happiness. (P.S. I also have an identical twin sister)

Taylor, Mary Kay, Jordan, and Cary have constantly been in my prayers since our sister Judy first told us of Taylor's diagnosis. I have prayer chains at work and through some of my closest friends. I thought of you all this morning (March 9th) and it's hard to understand why a child, much less any individual, would be overcome with such a burden. But we must trust in the Lord and lean not on our own understanding. God has a plan. Something good will come out of this. His Glory will be revealed.
1 Peter 4:12-13 - “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.”
Love and prayers to you all.

Mary Kay,
I was so upset after reading your journal entry. We saw Taylor at church on Sunday and were just saying how good she looks. It bothers me most about her being in pain. Please know that we are constant in our prayers for Taylor. Praying for healing, comfort, strength, peace & MIRACLES. It is so hard to read the comment that the Pastor made because it is so true. I am praying, hoping, believing and FROG-ing as I sit here and just cry! Please call me if you need anything. Hugs to everyone!

Dear Mary, Cary, Taylor and Jordan
So sorry to hear Taylor has not been feeling well the past couple of days. You are constant in our thoughts and prayers. Words do not come easily but we hope for a brighter day tomorrow and Taylor will be pain free as well. We know there is comfort in the many prayers from your church family and so many others around the country. It was a joy for me, Mary, to read the many beautiful well wishes in the Guestbook from so many caring people. Sending hugs your way.

Hi Everybody,
Mary Kay, it was nice to talk to you at the clinic. You continue to be in our prayers. It is amazing the resources these young kids of the cancer world have, and when we are down, they are the ones who lift us up. Taylor is amazing. I am so thankful that she tolerated the chemo well. Storming Heaven with prayers that this chemo will do the trick. Keep FROGing.

Mary Kay & Taylor,
It was so good to see you both at the clinic on Tuesday! I thought Taylor looked great and was so glad to read that she tolerated the new chemo well. She is one brave girl and I admire her so much!
I'm glad you got to escape for the weekend. Theme parks are great for that & we've done that many times ourselves. I'm so glad Taylor & Jordan got to have some fun.
We are constant in our prayers for Taylor & your family. God is good and He is holding us all in His hands. Keep believing!

Mary Kay,
We are so sorry to hear the recent news of Taylor. We have been following Taylor's battle. Our hearts and prayers go our to you and your family. Our daughter Brianna knows Taylor and Jordan from school. She just looked at your website today and asked many questions. She asked me today why do people get cancer? It is so hard to explain why some bad things happen to people. Our family will pray for Taylor and we know that god will take care of her.
God Bless,
Christine & John & Brianna Perry

Hello Taylor.
My name is Ms. Trabue. I am a cancer survivior. I was given 6 months to live back in September of 2001. After 8 months of chemo and 37 radiation treatments, I continue to be cancer free.
I am the coordinator for the prayer ministry for Jefferson Street Baptist Church in Dublin, GA. We prayed a long time for Mikayla Miller and still have her on our remission list. We want to add you to our special cancer list to be prayed for every single day. God is so good. We do not understand why certain things happen, they just do. It is not up to us to question God or what he allows to happen. Personally, I no longer ask why me, but why not me. I do know that I am closer to God than I have ever been and my priorities have greatly changed. If possible, send me a home address. We like to send cards and other mailouts.
Remember that God has you in the palm of his hand and we have you in our hearts and prayers.
Trabue Sutton Brooks <trabue@nlamerica.com>
Dublin, GA USA - Monday, February 28, 2005 5:45 PM CST
We love you Taylor! and your whole family! Mikayla says "hi" to both Taylor and Jordan and wants you to know she's been keeping you in her prayers EVERY NIGHT.
Mary Kay, thank you for all your updates. I check every day and am asking for Jesus to heal Taylor. As Mikayla's friend Alyson (osteosarcoma) said "walk in faith, not fear!" please stay strong, but remember it's o.k. to be weak...He will carry you.

Mary Kay,
I read up on all of you back home, and you are never far from our thought and prayers too. You have to look at those signs you are seeing and go with them. When we were thinking about coming here to NY for treatment, I was looking for any possible sign to let me know we were doing the right thing, and I started getting them, so many I would begin to laugh at them, and I finally said, I GET IT. It has been an extremely hard road, but no one ever said it would be easy. Someone once said to me that God would talk to me, but it would only be a wisper, I heard him. TRUST IN HIM. God Bless.
