Surgery Today

Monday, March 22, 2010

Tyler had a wonderful weekend thanks to Gina and Lauren Foster who traveled to Nashville to pick him up. Tyler came to Cal on Friday to eat lunch with his friends and catch up with his teachers. He then went shopping with Gina and Megan for new jeans and shoes. He had a quiet night with the Fosters that night. On Saturday Tyler met with some "girl" friends for dinner and Austin met up after baseball at the movies. Sunday morning Gina took Tyler back to Nashville to meet his grandpa, Glenn. It was the best medicine for Tyler to be surrounded by friends and to enjoy being 15.

Charles flew back into Memphis on Sunday (yesterday) and Tyler had his pre-surgery tests. He will have a thoracotomy at 9:30 today (Monday)to remove the 1 cm node in his right lung. He will have a week to recover and then a round of chemo. Pray specifically for the surgery to work and the cancer will NEVER return and more importantly that the chemo will shrink (and remove forever)the spot in his other lung. Sarah will fly in on Friday from Tuscon to remain with Tyler until around April 4th. Hopefully he will be able to return to Tuscon to finish his treatment.

Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Stay close!
