When is the last time you had the stomach flu? The constant throwing up and hovering over the toilet (or bucket). Can you imagine having it non stop for 7 days? I cannot! Poor Tyler has not stopped throwing up. In fact he is throwing up about every 2 hours, even when he is sleeping he will wake up and throw up. Sarah said it hit her last night as she laid on her air mattress next to the bed Tyler was sleeping in. As he was throwing up she just started crying. She just couldn't stop. She climbed into bed and put her arms around Tyler and just held him tight! How much more can he take? She plead with God to make him well and take the pain away. Sarah wants the chemo to be over. She talked with Dr. Mauer and they discussed that it might be time to stop.
Even though Tyler was not admitted to the hospital , he has had to go every day. He had the scope done of his esophagus. The test reveled his esophagus to his stomach is completely raw. There were no sporadic sores it was one huge sore. No wonder he hasn't eaten in weeks and is in so much pain. This has to be a specific prayer. His body is so fragile right now and they don't know how much more he can take. His body is having serious problems from scarring and it is preventing his body to heal. He has lost more weight and he is on too much medication. It just isn't good news! Please God renew Tyler's physical strength, heal his body and take his pain away! Sometimes we just don't know what or how to pray. It is comforting to know that the Holy Spirit does and intercedes for us.
Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us.
Thank you for your faithfulness and prayers! I have faith it will be over soon for Tyler!
Stay close! Kim

Tyler and family,
My name is Shelly Hamman and I teach 2nd grade at Rock Creek. I have kept up with your story since my daughter who ran track told me about you. In my class I have two students who have siblings who are cancer survivors (Dana Velander has battled it twice and is in 5th grade here.) So I stopped my class, and we prayed for you. There were so many who wanted to do the prayer that I let 10 come up. Many others still wanted to pray, so we decided to pray all day for you. We hope to hear some good new soon! Our recent Bible verse was about loving your neighbor as yourself and YOU and your family have become their new neighbor. GOD BLESS,
Shelly Hamman

Tyler....please hang tough! We are praying for you. You are the strongest young man that I know and I can't even imagine the pain that you are going through. As a parent, it is so hard to hear your story, but I have faith that GOD has a purpose for putting you through all of this. I know that doesn't make the pain go away, but GOD is good. I plead the Blood of JESUS over you and your family during this difficult time. As always, we must have faith and fully rely on GOD.
We miss you!!!

Tyler,
I wish I could find the right words to say to bring you some comfort. My heart aches for you and for the suffering you have had to endure. You are such a special guy and the sweetest friend in the whole world. I will always be praying for you and your family for continued strength to see this to the end. Tyler, you are loved by so many people don't ever forget that. We're all still here waiting for your return to CAL and will always love you, pray for you, and support you any way possible.
Hugs and more hugs,
Je T'aime,
Catherine
Hi Sara, Today, as I pray for Tyler I am also praying for you for strength and comfort. I wanted to let you know this and I hope it gives you hope. When my sister was 15 she had cancer. I have such vivid memeories of my mom in so much agony when Julie was going through chemo. She would have the strongest face on in front of her and then go upstairs and cry her little eyes out. It's a pain no mother should endure. The hope I'm sending you is that the love between my mother and sister was so powerful. Because of this GREAT LOVE...my sister is one of THE sweetest ladies I've ever known and she went on to become a nurse and has two children of her own. There is so much life after cancer...and so much LOVE. Tyler is going to take all of this and soar one day! YOU are something special Sara and what a wonderful role model to your other children...seeing this unconditional love. This fabric you are weaving is so HUGE...and it will last through generations. You just stay strong Sara...your day is so near and you will have peace. Thinking of you and your family on Valentine's Day and sending you LOVE. Kelley Scull
