God Listens

Friday, February 27



I love when I call Sarah and she answers the phone in such a good mood. I always can tell by her voice if it is a good day or not. Today is a good day!

Tyler was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday and administered chemo. The doctor's agreed it would benefit him by remaining in the hospital for this chemo session. They were right! He slept all day Wednesday and woke up only once during the night and threw up. He woke up the next morning ready to go. Sarah said they got out of the room (very unusual) and played games, watched movies and even ate McDonald's. No throwing up!!! Today was even better. He woke up and said I am ready to go home. Home they went! Sarah said it was amazing how well he did this time. What a difference it makes when Tyler feels good and looks good. His hair is growing out. It is darker than normal and looks as though it has been cut with a #1 razor. They haven't seen him with hair in a long time. His hair will continue to grow because the methotrexate treatments don't affect his hair. It will be great to see Tyler with hair again!

Tyler will be off for 2 weeks to get his strength back and his weight up. The family will enjoy having normal days. They may visit their aunt and uncle down south next week when Elijah is on spring break.

God has been so faithful and has provided the family when they have been in need. God's handprint has been on this family from the beginning and will remain until the end of this journey. The stories that the Hanson's will share after it is over, will show God's perfect timing. God is perfect! Thank you friends for your continued support and prayers. It is so evident to the family that God is listening!

Stay close! Kim
