Monday, November 10
Can you believe it is November already? I think most of you will agree that time passes way too quickly. Everyone except Tyler or anyone else going through a cancer treatment program. Tyler and his family are celebrating that they are two-thirds of the way through his treatment. Only 12 more weeks of treatment! Hurray!!!!! He finished week 16 and will begin week 17 this Wednesday. He is feeling well but very tired. His physical therapy is moving slow. He can only bend his leg about 10% but they are hoping by the end of this week he will be bending it 30%. I am amazed how well he is progressing considering the severity of his surgery and the chemo treatments on top that. Tyler shows such determination and strength when his body is so weak. I have had people tell me how much they admire him when they experience a 24 hour stomach virus. Tyler has been experiencing a 51/2 month stomach virus plus more. Pray for continued strength, endurance and healing and for his future treatments to be on schedule with no interruptions or complications.
Tyler received a nice visit and surprise yesterday. Two volunteers from Make-A-Wish, Adriane Kraus and Joyce Hall and their families, came with goody bags for the 3 boys and paperwork to apply for Tyler's wish. After thinking about it for a while, Tyler decided his first choice would be to visit Japan. His ancestors and family are Japanese and the best way to learn about his own heritage is to visit. Since this is a big "wish" they asked for a second choice in case it was too expensive to grant. His second wish is to go on a Disney cruise. Either trip would be amazing and something to look forward to. The family wouldn't want to go until he was fully recovered so that he could enjoy it. It could happen as early as spring break or during the summer. Make-A-Wish is an amazing foundation with amazing volunteers that care so much for children.
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever...Psalm 100:4-5 Let us remember to give thanks on a daily basis for the good and bad because God is in control!
Stay close! Kim
