Tyler Needs Prayer

Sunday, January 25

Tyler's knee started swelling yesterday at noon and Sarah requested a doctor examine his leg. It took 8 hours before a doctor came to see him. Sarah was very angry that it took so long. Tyler's knee was the size of a grapefruit and he was and is in a lot of pain.

Finally, Tyler's surgeon came today and examined his leg. They drew fluid from his knee to determine if it is a bacterial infection is his joints. If it is Tyler will need surgery. The good news is they don't believe it has infected the bone. If it has, he would need to have his prosthesis removed and replaced. That was an extensive surgery back in September. If the tests reveal that he needs surgery, it will be to drain the fluids. Tyler was extremely upset after hearing the news from the surgeon today. Tyler asked these questions: Why doesn't God answer our prayers, Why does he have to suffer so much, When will this all end? I know I have asked some of these questions also! Tyler again needs prayer! Specifically ask God to let this be cellulitus and not a bacterial infection. We will know the results of the lab work tomorrow. Sarah says it will take a miracle to prevent Tyler from having surgery tomorrow. We believe in miracles!

Hold Tyler up in prayers this evening and tomorrow for good news! Stay close! Kim

Tyler - this is Ms. Brenda, Gracie Taylor's mom (from Leawood) - I want you to know that Gracie and I read your blogspot daily looking to see what is going on with you. We think of you daily, and Gracie really wants to visit you along with Stephanie Barry. We will work that out when you are back to new. Your pain is our pain too, and I am so sorry that you have carried the burdens that most of us adults have not ever had to experience. You are going to be a strong, wonderful husband for some lucky lady one day - Remember, when God brings you down to nothing, He is up to somehting. Love, Brenda and Gracie
