Chemo Again

Thursday, February 5

Tyler remains in the hospital. The doctor's decided not to give Tyler a week off so he was having a chemo treatment today. Since he hasn't been very healthy they are keeping him admitted to keep a close watch on him. Usually when he has methotrexate, it is given as an out patient treatment. He is still recovering from his surgery though so he isn't completely well. He has been up and walking today. He was in a great deal of pain from the surgery, but the pain is under control today. The good news he has only 3 more treatments. You have NO idea how quickly they want these treatments to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today at Christian Academy, the middle school kicked off a fundraiser for St, Jude in honor of Tyler. Mr. Mounce, the assistant principal, laid out the rules to participate. They watched a video that Charles and Tyler made about a day at St. Jude. Students, teachers and even parents are encouraged to participate in the fundraiser. They have the opportunity to raise money by getting pledges to either get their hair cut or shaved. There were 100 packets available and they were gone quickly and there were many requests for more. If you know a CAL student participating in this fundraiser, I know they would appreciate your help in raising money for this wonderful hospital where Tyler has spent a lot of time at for the last 9 months.

I know how much the Hanson family appreciates all your prayers and support. You have been a wonderful team of prayer warriors. Thanks but don't stop because he still needs those prayers. You're the best!!!!!

Stay close! Kim

Hey man. Great to see the video in chapel. God's being faithful. All three of us Mr. M's at CAL are going to get our heads shaved by whoever raises the most. That'll be weird! Praying for you.

so Tyler - i guess i'm cutting my hair too... should be interesting. i'm not thinking bald (i've got a weird dent in my head that just wouldn't be pretty to look at), but i'll go short.
man, you are almost done - hang in there! maybe we'll get to see you again soon!
by the way, i'm not offended that you didn't send me a shout-out on the video... but i won't forget... j/k... hugs!

I know you've had a rough time these last few months but stay strong, your almost finished! we pray for you daily and pray that you'll have a good day and painless days. I think about you all the time and wish the best for you always :) text me when you feel well it makes my day!
