Tyler is doing amazingly well after his surgery. Yesterday he was in severe pain due to the CPM machine attached to his leg. This machine applies controlled motion to bend his leg back and forth. Usually the machine is placed on his leg just hours after surgery but it wasn't applied for 24 hours so his leg was stiff and this caused Tyler a lot of pain. He was given some very strong pain medicine and that was hard on his body to adjust to also. Today was a better day!
He woke up feeling less pain and was able to get out of bed walk around and even have some light physical therapy. He should be able to be discharge later this afternoon. He will return to the hospital on Monday to have his dressings changed and leg checked. Sarah will return to Louisville on Tuesday just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Charles and Elijah will return tomorrow so that Elijah can be at school on Monday and Charles can be at work.
Tyler will return to St Jude on December 1st to have his leg checked and his staples removed. He will also have blood work and scans done to assure that he remains cancer free. We must continue to pray for good news and healing.
Let us give thanks to HIM for all the blessings we recieve daily.
Happy Thanksgivng!

Charles texted me to let me know that Tyler's surgery was over in 2.5 hours and it went exactly as planned. The doctor's were scheduled for 5 hours in case of complications but God answered prayers. I will keep you updated on his progress and healing.
Keep Praying!!!!!!

Tyler is just waking up and feeling no pain due to 2 nerve blocks. He is moving to ICU for a while to recover. Charles said he had no fear today. What a fighter!

I am sorry that I didn't give you an update from the last blog. Tyler's surgery was cancelled due to a low white blood count. The tests revealed strep in his system. With this type of surgery, Tyler has to be completely healthy otherwise, the surgery will not be a success. Sooooooooo his surgery is rescheduled for Thursday, November 19th.
The family will be traveling to St Jude today and he will have tests tomorrow to determine if his counts are good enough to have the surgery. Please pray they are that the surgery will be a huge success!!!!!!!!!
Stay close!

Hopefully The Last Surgery

Tyler left after school yesterday to travel to Memphis. He will be visiting St Jude today for pre op instructions and tests before his scheduled surgery tomorrow. He will have a new metal prosthesis put into his leg. The family is so anxious for this surgery to be completed. Prayerfully hoping this will be his last surgery. If the surgery goes well he will be walking soon without any assistance from a crutch and NO more leg brace!
Please pray that the surgery will be a huge success and it will all be behind him soon!
Stay Close!
