Sarah drove Tyler yesterday after school to Memphis to be seen by his doctor's today at St Jude. His leg had become swollen and red on Friday so she took him to his Louisville doctor. They called St Jude and decided to put him on antibiotics and watch him over night. Saturday he returned to his doctor and his leg looked better. St Jude advised for the family to keep a close eye on it. On Monday his leg began swelling again and puss was coming out of the incision and pictures of his leg were sent to St Jude. After a consultation, the doctor's at St Jude decided it was best for Tyler to return to Memphis. They believe that the infection has moved deep into his bone and if this is the case he will have surgery this afternoon.
He will have x-rays and blood work this morning and Sarah and Tyler will meet with his doctor's at 1:00 to determine the news about surgery. This was devastating news yesterday to the family. Of course, Tyler was upset as he had settled in to going to school and living a normal life again, hanging out with his friends. It was an emotional send off. A group of friends gathered outside of the school's library and laid hands on Tyler and prayed for a miracle to take palce. We are calling on our great God to heal his leg so that he will not have to endure the 2 major surgeries to repair and replace his metal prosthesis.
Please hold this family up in prayers. Charles and Elijah remain in Louisville waiting for the news as Elijah is back at school and Charles is working. Sarah, Tyler and Christian are staying with their good friends, the Ross family, while in Memphis. They may need to remain there for at least 2 weeks if Tyler needs these surgeries.
We know God works for the good in all things. He is in control!
Stay close!

Tyler's Back
Sunday, August 9
Tyler is back in town and things are great! Tyler went to school on Thursday for the freshman orientation. He became connected again with his friends and made some new ones. On Friday the Finnesands had a welcome back/birthday celebration for him and his family. We are so grateful for their return.
They have been busy this weekend moving and unpacking their things into a new home in Lake Forest. They have had their things in storage since last May and I know the "kids" will be anxious to have some of their toys to play with again. School starts Thursday at Christian Academy and Elijah and Tyler will be there for the first day back. Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Home at last
Wednesday, August 5
I cannot believe that the Hanson family have moved back to Louisville. It is official! They will stay a night or so with the Foster family and then move into their home in Lake Forest. Tyler will be going to freshman orientation tonight at Christian Academy and start school next Thursday. Elijah will begin 3rd grade and Christian will be starting pre school in a few weeks. It is surreal!!!!!
The family is excited to be back but Sarah's father decided not to make the move this time. He is remaining in Memphis and will live at their home there until they can find a renter. As for a home here, the family was blessed to find a home in their old neighborhood that could be rented until they get back on their feet. Charles will once again be working for Oxmoor Toyota. God has truly been merciful and opened many doors for the family to return back to Louisville. We are so thankful and grateful!
I will keep you posted on news about Tyler's health. He was checked out at St Jude's yesterday before they left. His leg looks great and he will continue to have physical therapy here in Louisville. He had his port removed from his chest so in a week or so it should be healed enough so that he can take showers again. It has been 1 year and almost 3 months since they left on this journey and I am so thankful it has come full circle back here again. Continue to hold Tyler up in prayer to remain cancer free!
