Thursday February 11, Taylor and I meet Ken and Stacey at Dr. Kelly’s office, for Taylor big Botox treatment. Back in December Dr. Kelly did preformed a test injection of Botox about the size of a quarter on upper stomach. At this appointment Dr. Kelly injected a whole vile of Botox (about 10 to 12 injections or more of Botox , I got to the point I could not watch and stopped counting). I telling you Taylor did not even move, he just laid still with his arms above his head resting them on his forehead, the only movement would be that he would just squint his eyes with each injection. Dr. Kelly would ask him if he wanted him to stop to get him a break, Taylor would say no keep on going. This Botox is stronger than the test Botox. Dr. Kelly says it takes up to 5 days to feel the results. Also, it hurts Taylor for a t-shirts to touch his stomach so you can only imagine how bad it hurts Taylor for the Doctor to touch or inject medication into Taylor’s stomach. I will update you in a few days to let you know how the new round of Botox worked.

History in the making
Taylor returned to see Dr. Kelly, Thursday January 14, 2010. The visit was just a follow up to the Botox appointment back in December. The good news is that the test spot on Taylor’s stomach seems to not twitch and is not as painful. If you all remember that Dr. Kelly injected a quarter size area on Taylor’s stomach.
So the plan is that in February Taylor will receive a stronger Botox (Dr. Kelly called it Botox A) and it will be injected in a larger area on the upper stomach. The other change is that over the last month Taylor has slowly stopped taking the drug Impramine. This drug has made Taylor gain weight and has not had any real benefits for Taylor condition. Dr. Kelly wants to wean as many drugs from Taylor as he can. Dr. Kelly reminded us also, that the Botox will take time to work and Taylor will not feel the benefits right away.
I would ask every one to pray for two things this month. 1,that the treatments in February works. 2, that we can get the insurance to pay for the treatments, right now they will not because there is not case history that Botox works for Taylor condition. The funny thing is there is no case history on Taylor’s illness, because it is so rare. I guess Taylor is making medical history not quite the history he had in mind I’m sure.
Thank you,
