Tuesday, June 17
Today I took some time to think about simple pleasures I take for granted: walking, running, riding a bike, kicking a ball, swimming, dressing myself and even rolling around on the ground playing with my dog. Then my mind turned to Tyler who can't enjoy these simple pleasures. How must he feel? Could he be discouraged and down? I would be. He probably has a lot of bad days when he wonders "why me"! I wish I knew the answer to that question. Only God has the answer. He knows what is best for Tyler and why he must endure these bad days. We can only trust Him and pray that he will answer our prayers for Tyler to be well soon. I know for sure that God loves Tyler so much even though he has pain and suffering right now. Romans 5:3-5 tells us that when we experience suffering our character will be strengthened, our trust in God will deepen and God will give us greater confidence in our future. I am looking for forward to Tyler's future and a healed body.
Today Sarah took Tyler to the hopistal for blood work to check his red and white blood count. They were above normal. PRAISE GOD! This is a good day! If they remain normal through Friday, there is a great chance he can come to Louisville for a few days. His weight has dropped from 100 pounds to 83. This is a big concern. If his weight continues to drop he will need a feeding tube inserted. The prayers for today are simple: God please keep Tyler's blood counts normal and his appetite big so he can gain back his weight.
Thanks for all the special prayers and support! What a great team we have become.
Stay close! Kim

Hi Tyler---You are an amazingly strong and tough young man. I know your friends look up to you and admire your strength. I will pray that your appetite comes back and you are able to enjoy some great food and delicious milkshakes. I think Catherine and Shelby are planning on having some hot wings with you.
