April 17th Update

Tyler has had a superficial rash the last few days. The doctors told us it was caused by something outside of his body, like from soap used during one of his procedures. Although we don’t have a direct cause, it seems to be getting better.

Mark has been applying compresses, and Tyler tells us he is being wrapped like a Mummy. His fever and blood pressure have been stable and “normal” for the last two days, with no other side effects. He has been removed from other antibiotics that he has been taking, and has a bit more energy than he has had.

A physiotherapist visits him to help with strengthening his leg muscles. He can now take a few steps on his own, and is able to sit up for longer stretches of time. Day by day, he is slowly getting stronger.

Dearest little Tyler: We are praying for you all the time and really miss seeing you but we know that the doctors and nurses and all your friends and family are taking good care of you. We would love to visit you but don't want to bring any germs your way. Everyone in the Sunday School is also praying for you and they miss you too. We will all be glad to see you again when you're all better. Keep up with your strong courage, sweetie, and know that Jesus is always with you. We send all our love.
