Sunday, September 21
Tyler was released from the hospital late Friday evening. Unfortunately it wasn't a positive experience. He has been so sick with pain and throwing up and hopes for relief soon! It has been a tough few days. He has had to travel back and forth to the hospital everyday to have his IV pain medicine changed. It probably would have been better for Tyler to remain in the hospital. The stress of traveling back and forth has been very difficult. Not only is it difficult to get into a car, but once he is inside he must lay in the back seat to keep his leg stretched out. It cannot bend because of the cast. Moving around makes him nauseous and causes his head to hurt. Today while at the hospital he had severe pain in his head, neck, back and he was also nauseous. They gave him a medicine that was stronger than morphine and he immediately began throwing up. Sarah believes the medicine is masking the pain and covering up the problem. Hopefully tomorrow when there is a full staff at the hospital, they will get some answers.
Tyler needs specific prayer today. Please pray his pain will be relieved; the pain in his neck, back and especially his migraines. He will be taken off his pain block tomorrow so this is also a big concern. He hasn't felt any pain in his leg from the surgery due to the pain block but tomorrow may be a different story. They are also anxious for the test results from the tumor. They should have those results on Wednesday.
This has been a long hard road and they have two-thirds of it yet to travel. This is only week 11 and they have 29 weeks until Tyler's treatment is completed. Tyler will have another round of chemo next Monday (Doxorubicin, Cisplatin and Bevacizumab). The family appreciates all of the cards and love that is sent to them. They want to thank the Scull family, especially Tristen and Liam. Tristen and Liam had lemonade stands this summer and sent the family a check for $900. That is a lot of lemonade!!!!!! Thank you for your support, the family truly appreciates you and everyone that has sent cards, pictures and gifts.
Continue to pray for Tyler and if you would like to send him a note of encouragement, his address is:
