Getting The Ball Rolling...

Tyler heads to the hospital on Tuesday to get the ball rolling towards his transplant. During the past week, Tyler was up early for visits to the Children's for tests, scans and results as the doctors are keeping close tabs on his progress. A dentist appointment was even thrown into the mix, to make sure that every inch of him is in the best shape possible. Tyler's appetite is back in full effect, with him craving "Bits and Bites" at all hours of the day and night. He is enjoying munching on Tsatsiki and pita. Tomorrow's schedule includes blood tests, and hopefully some time with family, as we are not sure how long Tyler will be in isolation. Sitting with Tyler, at the laptop, I came across a quote that he kept repeating, "the first step to better times is to imagine them". Hopefully we can allow our imagination to take a back seat soon as better times are surely around the corner.

Hi Tyler,

Your Dad and Aunt Glenna have been keeping me up to date on how you're doing. A lot of people ask about the littlest hero of Candiac. I don't know anyone as brave and strong as you are. Cameron, Bill and I just wanted you to know that we think of you (and your family) often. Stay strong little buddy, we are looking forward to seeing you on the baseball field next year. We remember how your smile lit up the field last summer.
