Round 2 of Chemo

Friday, April 23, 2010

After a very busy weekend in California, Tyler and Sarah flew to Memphis on Tuesday and drove straight to St Jude's. He started chemo Thursday and has had 2 of the five doses down. Tyler is feeling really good and they are letting him do his chemo as an out patient this time. That makes him very happy!!!! He hates when he can't leave the hospital so taking chemo as an out patient really helps to keep his spirits up. They fly home next Tuesday. Sarah doesn't know what the plan is yet for the spot in his left lung. We are praying that it will be gone and he won't need anymore surgery!

The family traveled to California for a funeral and wedding. There was a wake service on Friday to remember Sarah's grandmother who passed away a few weeks ago and also a wedding rehearsal for Aaron, Sarah's brother. The wedding was on Sunday and the family left afterwards at 9:00 pm for Arizona arriving home at 3:00 AM. Glen (Sarah's dad) flew to California for the wedding but rode with them back to Arizona to visit a few days. Sarah emptied all the suitcases, washed clothes and then packed again for St. Jude. It has been very hectic for them but they are used to the hectic life style.

They are still in the process of coordinating with Tyler's school regarding all of the work he has missed. Since the school has never had to deal with anything like this before, they are having difficulty with organizing it. Please pray this will be worked out so that Tyler can keep up with his school work.

Elijah and Christian were so excited that grandpa was in town for a few days. It has been stressful for Sarah to coordinate someone to help watch the boys and get them to and from school when she is gone. The boys were very happy that grandpa was there to play and take care of them. Glen was flying back to Memphis today and Sarah's sisters are taking over. She is very thankful for her family.

Please continue to pray for Tyler and the family daily.

Stay close!
