Sunday, January 11
It has been a glorious weekend because we got to spend time with Tyler, Elijah, Christian , Sarah and Charles.
After school on Friday, a group met at the Foster's for a Mexican Fiesta prepared by Sarah, Gina and Jill. It was great food and fellowship and Tyler was happy and enjoying just hanging out with friends. Later in the evening the kids took turns beating up on a "pinata" full of candy. Even though Tyler couldn't participate in the beating of the pinata, he enjoyed eating the candy that was inside of it. I think Tyler, Austin and Clay stayed up too late because they had to be woken up on Saturday to get to Tony Boom Bozz.
Saturday began with lunch at Tony Boom Bozz where a few friends met for pizza and then the group went to a movie at Tinseltown. They ended the evening with another good meal at the Foster's and another late night of playing Wii and watching movies.
Sunday the family planned on going to church but with the late nights, Tyler needed to stay in bed and rest so he could travel home. We met at the Finnesand's home after church for a great "Waffle House" breakfast. It was difficult saying goodbye because we know it will be a few more months before we see them again.
Tomorrow the family plans to video "A day in the life of Tyler". Christian Academy's middle school is planning a fundraiser/benefit for St. Jude in honor of Tyler. The video will be shown on the kick off day at school in a couple of weeks. Both boys and girls have the opportunity to participate in a hair shaving/cutting benefit. The hair will be donated for wigs for cancer patients. It will be a great opportunity for our students to come together and show support for a wonderful hospital and show Tyler how much we love him also. If you would like to donate, just contact any CAL middle school student.
It has been long road for this family and they are making down it because of wonderful, caring friends and a strong faith in our Lord God. Stay close! Kim
Tuesday, Tyler will be admitted to the hospital for his final round of doxorubicin, cisplatin and bevacizumab. He will remain there for about 5 days. His counts will drop after about 10-12 days and then rise again. These are the chemo drugs that make his hair fall out so since this is the last treatment of these particular drugs, his hair will slowly grow back again. An end to his treatment is in sight.

btw, saw an encouraging promise from our Lord this weekend. When Moses asked the Lord who would go with him... Our Lord's answer "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Exodus 33:14
asking for His Presence..
