Feeling Good

Wednesday, October 15



After a bad day on Sunday and Monday, Tyler is feeling good today!!!! He went to the hospital yesterday and his counts are back to normal which gives him strength and an appetite. He now has a nice blue cast on his leg and I am claiming he has become a Kentucky fan. I think he just likes blue but I can hope he will come over to the blue side. The cast will keep his leg fully extended for 2 weeks. The brace he was wearing had a little too much give and they need for him to keep it completely straight for 2 weeks. When the cast is removed, his wound will be taken care of and his stitches will be removed. The doctors are truly amazed at how well his leg is healing. He started physical therapy yesterday to strengthen his upper leg muscles. This made him a little sore and he had some pain but other than that he has been pain free. Hurray!!! Sarah and Charles are so pleased with his progress and NO complications.



Tyler is in school. Not real school but he is having private tutoring provided by St. Jude. He started chapter 1 in Algebra and is flying through it. He will be caught up in no time.



Ally is still with the family taking very good care of them. Sarah and Charles have decided to celebrate their anniversary early and fly to Cancun for a few days since they have such great help at home. I am so happy they are getting some time together. They sure do deserve it. Pray for good weather, safety and all is well at home while they are gone.



What are you dressing as for Halloween? Tyler has decided to go as a wounded soldier. His blue cast will fit into his outfit perfectly. Sarah said when he told her that the other day, she was so proud of his attitude and how he has responded to this horrible situation. It is obvious he has trust and faith in God. It shows in his attitude and actions. Tyler, we are all so proud of you! We can't wait to see you.

Stay close! Kim

Hi Tyler and family! We tried to see you Thursday at St. Jude - came up there to see some friends in the pharmacy, but you were no where to be found!!! I guess that is a good sign. Take care! We love you guys!
