Tyler has gotten another stomach virus so he will not be having his next round of chemo (methotrexate) until he is over it. Sarah seems to think that her two younger boys brought the virus home. Christian and Elijah attended a Build A Bear party and one of the children at the party had the stomach flu. They probably brought some of his germs home. They can't be careful enough around Tyler. It is very hard to keep their home sterile and germ free. But they try! Last night Tyler received the first "tub" bath in a very, very long time. There is nothing better than a warm bath especially when you are sick! We so take for granted the simple pleasures of life until they are snatched from us.
Tyler's EKG/Echo cardiogram came back normal. It is hard to understand but they measure the pumps of blood that are pushed from his ventricles and they have been low but were in a more normal range this week. They will do an additional EKG/Echo cardiogram next week. The doctor's have to constantly monitor every part of his body. It is hard to fathom the amount of money it costs to treat a patient at St. Jude. Let us give thanks to the thousands of dollars that are donated each year to this wonderful hospital to enable such great care to patients such as Tyler.
Thanks for caring! Stay close! Kim

Hey Tyler -- I don't know if you remember us or not but we're the Pope family from Bellevue (Brian, Janet, Daniel, Timothy, & Sam). We decorated gingerbread houses with you at Christmastime in G'town (great memories of that!!!) We've been praying for you since the begining of your journey and have kept updated through this website. Brian ran the St. Jude marathon on 12/6(his 1st to run), and you were on my mind and heart soooo much. Hang in there, Tyler, and know that so many people are cheering for you!!!!
