Saturday, April 4
Our visit in Memphis was amazing. God really did HIS stuff. Tyler felt pretty bad on Wednesday, which was his last chemo treatment. He really didn't remember much of it either. On Thursday he looked great. He had color in his cheeks and his was up and moving around at his house. We were able to spend the afternoon and evening with him and his family. His Aunt Debi fixed a delicious Asian meal and we had cookie cake to celebrate. I loved the wall in their kitchen. It use to have numbers lining the wall and after chemo a number was torn down. The only thing on the wall now is "NO MO CHEMO"! Conner got to spend the night with Tyler and they even slept upstairs, which meant Tyler used his crutches to go up the stairs. We picked up Conner so we could head back to Louisville and Tyler headed to the hospital. It was sad to leave on Friday but we plan to see them again real soon!
Tyler has had to go to the hospital every morning since chemo to be checked. The good news is the methotrexate is out of his system and his numbers are good but unfortunately he started throwing up yesterday and has been since. That makes me sad. The methotrexate causes mucousitus and he develops a thick mucous coating which gags him and causes him to throw up. We cannot wait for this to be over. No more throwing up and no more pink bucket! I saw him use that big pink bucket in the hospital and I know they never want to see "pink" again.
Tyler's friend from Arizona, Tyler, is flying in today so pray he will feel better so he can enjoy his time with his friend. We are looking forward to a stronger, healthier Tyler soon!
The ride home from Memphis reminded me of God's beautiful creation and his perfect timing. Be thankful for his precious gifts especially the gift of life!
God Bless! Stay Close! Kim

Hey Tyler! It's so good to know that you're done with chemo!! It's really cool to think about everyone's prayers and see how each one has been answered. God is soooo good. We're all missing you, but we're super excited that you're all done (and that we get our hair cut tomorrow..)
Stay strong and know that we're praying for you!!

They have missed you! I was gald to hear that Conner was able to spend the night. I am sure you guys had a lot of catching up to do! Whenever you are well enough to make a trip to Louisville let us know and I will see that Mary Beth gets to visit you NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON!
