May 23rd Update

Today marks the 8th day that Tyler is at the Children’s. His stay has been lengthened as he has been having difficulty excreting the chemo from his system and has thus developed many canker sores in his mouth and throat. This painful condition has made speaking, eating and swallowing, in general, very difficult. His Lumbar Puncture went well yesterday, but we will receive further results further on in the week. Although we are not sure when Tyler will be released from the hospital, we are confident that he is in the best of hands.

Hi Tyler and family,

I sure hope that those sores in your mouth heal quickly, they are far to painful for a young boy like you!!! Remember that these side effects are part of the healing process and they mean that the chemotherapy is doing its job on your Leukemia.

You are in our prayers. Keep strong.

Take care,

Della Martin and family.
