The Last Chemo is so Close

Saturday, March 28

Tyler is feeling a little better this week but still has a lot of sores and mucositus as a result of his previous chemo treatment. His doctor's had planned on administering his last treatment today but his body has not completely recovered. He needs to be free of his sores before he can have his next treatment. The doctors will check him out Tuesday and if they feel he is strong enough he will have his last chemo on Wednesday. Our family will be in Memphis on Wednesday for a visit as we don't want to see him sick we can't wait to celebrate his last treatment. Since he will have his last treatment next week, Tyler will not be coming to Louisville for the fundraiser event at Christian Academy.

Tyler has family in town this week. His aunt and uncle from Destin, Florida came for the week. His friend, Tyler, from Arizona is flying into Memphis on Friday to spend a few days with him while he is on spring break. The McFarlands, from Louisville, stopped and spent the night last night at the Hanson's on their way down south. The family is excited to see family and friends. Charles was not working this weekend and was able to visit with them.

It is so exciting to be a friend of this family. They are so special and have so many friends all over the United States who have been praying for them and especially for Tyler. Many of these friends they have never met. Thank you for being on this journey with the family. God leads us and always has the perfect plan even though we sometimes don't know what that plan is. Continue to pray for the Hanson's as they listen for God's plan and guidance for their lives. As followers of Him we rely on His grace and mercy to lead us down the right path.

Stay close! Kim

How wonderful that you are at the end of your treatment! I am so glad that you are going to get to visit with your friend and family. I am sure you will be so excited to see Connor as well! I am sorry you won't be able to come to Louisville next week but your day is coming....you have to focus on yourself right now and do exactly what the Dr.s need you to do. When your mom and dad say it is a good week for Mary Beth to come for a visit we will certainly make every effort. The other night she ran downstairs screaming and it scared us to death....and it was all about you....she was thrilled that you had sent her a text! She said....Tyler sent me a text....he must be feeling better! She was soooooooooo excited! Anyway she has been raising money for the event but she can't cut her hair because she had it highlighted....these girls....what would they do without their highlights....ha! My youngest daughter, Natalie, is going to cut her hair in place of Mary Beth so that is kinda neat! Elija might know her but I think Elija had Mrs. May whereas Natalie had Mrs. Ulrich. That is all for now....have a wonderful week with your friend and may God see you through this last treatment. Bless you, Tyler. Mrs Hickman
