Exact Match

Tyler is still being kept at the Children’s as his sores have not yet subsided. He has improved slightly in the last few days, and has managed to take a few sips of juice here and there. On Thursday, the doctors blessed us with the news that Bethany is an exact match with Tyler, and thus will be able to provide healthy bone marrow for a transplant. Although we are still seeking information on the topic, and attempting to understand the details involved with the procedure, we are relieved to receive such wonderful news. Now, we simply wait for Tyler’s system to bounce back from this treatment, and wait for further instruction. Please pray for Darla, Mark and Bethany at this time to give them the strength, energy and perseverance to continue in this exhausting routine. Most importantly, pray for Tyler. He is such a strong little man. I cannot put into words the strength and courage that he is demonstrating while dealing with this excruciating and frustrating pain.

Hi everyone,
Jorge, Justin and I are all very happy to hear about an exact match...that is fantastic news.
You are such a fighter Tyler, keep it up! What a strong, brave young man you are.
Please let us know when Tyler is up to having some visitors as Justin would love to come by and play a new Spider-Man 3 board game with him.
Stay strong and please call me if there is anything that either Jorge or I can do for you...anything at all.
