Charles took Tyler to the hospital early this morning for chemo. They decided to admit him for this round since he has been so very sick with the last few. The high dose of methotrexate usually only takes 4 hours to infuse but the doctors want to keep a close eye on him and hopefully this will keep his nausea under control better. Please pray that God will protect all of Tyler's linings and for Tyler's spirits to remain up. He woke up at 3:00 am very anxious about today's chemo and asked his mom for some nausea medicine because his stomach hurt. I can't imagine what Tyler must be feeling or going through. This has been so hard for Charles and Sarah to see him be so weak when he has been so strong! He has been an amazing patient and I think the toll is finally hitting him hard. Please pray also that Tyler will have an easy round of chemo and the doctor's and nurse's will be especially sensitive to his needs.
The test results were negative for the stricture in his esophagus and that is why they are continuing chemo. As for Tyler's leg, not such good news. They will keep him on strong antibiotics until chemo is finished and after that they will probably replace his prosthesis. How sad is that. Poor Tyler won't be able to rejoice with the fact that he has finally finished chemo because he will then be faced with this serious surgery. My heart is broken. I have faith though that God will turn his leg prognosis around and that he will not have to have that surgery!
If you feel the nudge to send Tyler or his family a card of encouragement, his address is:
10104 Quiet Cove
Collierville, TN 38017
Stay Close! Kim

Tyler,
When I read this post, the first thing that came to mind was this verse:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. – Philippians 4:6
Our request to GOD is that you will not have to have your prosthesis replaced....We will pray for this daily and, as you know, GOD answers our prayers!!!
Stay strong Tyler, you are almost there!!!!
Blessings,
The Hooker Family
Pam, Chris, Cassidy and Chelsea
