Newest Update

Journal entry by Arianna Van Fleet

I know we haven't posted lately, life has completely consumed us in this "new" normal. 
Here are some updates:
Taylor has been getting his weekly chemo treatments and spinal taps every week. The kid is stronger mentally and physically than all of us. With Taylor you don't ever need to feel like you need to 'dumb' something down, he just wants the facts and thats it. He is was too smart for his own good. And he is doing better than any of us thought, he may start loosing hair here in the next week but that doesn't bother him too much. He hasn't been too nauseous from the chemo. The spinal taps are probably what cause him the most discomfort. 
Mom and Dad are doing what they can to help him out. Mom has set up her office in Denver in their new hotel room, which has allowed more space and privacy for Taylor and mom. Dad has been driving back forth a few times a week between Denver and  Laramie to help Arianna and Josh (her boyfriend) out. Arianna and Josh recently moved into the house so they can help maintain the 4 dogs, a cat, the plants and the two new fish (dad thought it was a good idea to add to the list 😉). Everyone is slowly trying to adjust and mold their new lives into a new routine. We have had so much help from the community and local friends. We want to thank every single one of you for the continued support. Here are some photos that have been taken within the last week!
Also, an awesome Tayism "Chemo is basically like a more expensive haircut"
