Down Time

Saturday, August 2

Tyler has been spending most of his time lately sleeping and hanging out at home. Since his chemo ended last week he has been taking it easy at home to recover. It usually takes about 10 days or so. Right now he is being monitored closely because his counts will drop very low, which can be dangerous. Sarah is hoping that when they go to the hospital on Sunday (tomorrow) they will have dropped as low as they can and will be rebounding. I pray daily for Tyler to receive the Lord's strength and mercy to sustain him through this treatment. When his counts start to rise he should start to have more energy and feel better. I'll bet he will be playing more on his drums! We miss you Tyler, Sarah, Elijah, Christian, Glen and Mollie! If things go really well, the family may travel to Louisville for a few days next week to see dad and friends. I pray that will happen!

I was reminded today by Beth Moore that God puts trials in our lives. This helps us to make a stand for him. The devil supplies the temptations to make us fall. The Hanson's have been put through a tough trial right now. I pray they will remain faithful and stand firm in their faith of Him. They are a great testimony to many and have leaned on the One who truly loves and cares for them. Stay strong Hanson family! We love you!
Stay close!

Hey Tyler!! Sounds like everything is going good!1 Which is good!! Well I just got back from some of our friends house. Their church was having VBS so I decided to help with the five year olds. So I had to help control 17 screaming five year olds. It was very fun; except for when I had to break up a fist fight in the bathroom! Well I rly hope you get to come to Louisville. Im always praying for you. Cya soon!!

hi Tyler,
I am sorry i haven't posted lately. I have been so busy with soccer practice everyday and i have been exhausted. I still need to read my book and i am way behind in it. Imagine that! I hope you are getting plenty rest so that you can feel up to coming to Ky for a visit. It sure would be nice to see you. I miss you so much and pray for you daily. Always know that everyone is lifting you up in prayer and we care for you so deeply. Always hoping for a speedy recovery from each chemo treatment. Hang in there Tyler ! Love and miss you very much!

Je T'aime,
Catherine
