Tyler arrived early yesterday at the hospital to begin week 13 of his chemo treatment. It always begins with his prehydration fluids followed by the chemo by IV. He remains at the hospital for around 15 hours and then returns home. The doctor's delayed his treatment a few days because Sarah and Charles were out of town. Tyler will have a week or so to recuperate from the high doses of methetrexate and have another round some time next week. He should also get his cast removed next week also. He will be put to sleep for the procedure because he will have his stitches removed also. Some of the stitches are very deep and it will be very painful. He will then begin a strenuous physical therapy program to learn to use his leg again.
Sarah and Charles enjoyed their few days away to Cancun. Sarah said it was the best vacation she and Charles have ever had together. The weather was great. She shared with me about an excursion they took. They got to zip line, ride mountain bikes and swim in the underground river. It was a lot of fun.
Ally did a great job taking care of the boys while Sarah and Charles were away. Unfortunately Glen (Sarah's father) wasn't feeling good last week. He felt well enough Wednesday to celebrate his 53rd birthday with the family out to eat. Happy belated Birthday, Glen! I pray you will be feeling better soon!
Tyler we think and pray for you often. Keep working hard! We love you!
Stay close! Kim
