Tay . Laughing girl

 

{this was two weeks after Elle pasted}
On a warm night in July, while Tay & the little kids was with her grandparents, We went on a date. A few short hours later, we received a phone call telling us that Taylee had been in an accident and we needed to go straight to the hospital......

Sweet little Taylee had fallen into a canal and floated about 1½ miles downstream where she bumped into the leg of Jeff Call, a farmer who was working in the canal and was about ready to leave, but decided he needed to put one last board in the ditch where he was irrigating.

At first he thought she was a doll, but he quickly realized that she was a six yr old girl. He scooped her up, handed her to his brother, Mike, and they immediately began CPR and called 911 for help. Her grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins were all searching frantically for her in and out of the canal. It was an excruciating search - minutes that will forever change the life of those who were so frantically hunting for her.

As the emergency crews rushed to their aid, Jeff and Mike prayed passionately for Taylee to survive. She was taken to a Medical Center in Texas where the trauma team didn't give us much hope, but decided that they weren't going to give up on her. They called for the jet to take her to Primary Children's Medical Center in Utah.

It was a long 3 weeks of a battle. Taylee held on & Every person they knew prayed almost four times a day. We were totally blessed with the perfect friends & family. I knew i could count on them for anything. 

here is the little writing that I did the day we lost her...

A life can change in an instant...

And ‘A’ life can change us forever…..

  Taylee has shown us today that perhaps there is a different plan for her than we originally thought. Throughout the events of today and yesterday, Taylee’s conditions have changed down a different path and her little spirit is torn between two worlds. Strange to say but there has been a distinct difference in the feeling of her hospital room today. From one day to the next. It’s as if her valiant little spirit is just staying for us. Just staying long enough for us to realize that this is not the end.

Little Taylee has been a strong fighter but we don’t know if she will be fighting much longer. I feel really blessed to have my family & friends to thank for these last few weeks with my little beauty.
