Happy New Year

Thursday, January 1, 2009

It's a new year and we are looking forward to a happy, healthy and stronger Tyler. He is feeling better today but his blood counts remain at zero. The doctor's feel as though he could have some kind of rare virus and they are treating him still with antibiotics. The family is waiting and just praying his counts will start rising tomorrow. As soon as they start rising Tyler can go home. Home Sweet Home! It has been a while since he has been home.

Sarah took the younger boys to Shelby Farms park today. They walked 2 miles on one of many trails. Sarah is familiar with this park because she has run miles there while in training for the marathon which was held last month. After their day at the park, they ate Italian and brought some spaghetti and meatballs to Tyler in the hospital. Charles had spent the night last night so he left to go home to get a good night's rest. You can't get a good night's sleep on a chair that extends.

Congratulations Tyler on finishing your final tests in Algebra and Science to end the semester. Can you believe that he is caught up with school work? I find that amazing especially since he has been so sick. God is good!

Take time to pray for Tyler today for his counts to rise so he can go home and get a break from chemo and the hospital. He needs to have some normalcy! Stay close! Kim
