August 29th Update

Things are progressing on the straight and narrow. Tyler’s doctors and nurses are pleased at his healing, and he is building strength with every passing day. On Saturday, Tyler completed his (what we hope to be) his last chemotherapy treatment. He still has incredibly painful sores in his mouth, but we are hopeful that his body will soon build antibodies to fight the infection. He is having fun shooting water from a syringe, at Dr. Mitchell and his nurses. His best time is during the evening, as he seems to have taken a liking to taking early evening naps. Mark is feeling under the weather today, so please pray for his health and strength. It was mentioned today that there is a possibility of Tyler returning home in a few weeks, and we are very thankful for such an optimistic outlook. Thank you for all your prayers, inquiries and support!

Tyler you are such a brave boy and have not given up for one moment. Bethany is extra special too. The news of you coming home in a few weeks is fantastic. To show you how much we care about you and your family, we have decided to attend the Light the Walk in your honour. While doing so we will raise much needed money for blood cancer treatment and research. For those of you who read this blog (and I know that there are many of you)please refer to the link right below Tyler's picture. Feel free to join Team Tyler and walk with us or show your support by donating whatever you can. Tyler has shown his strength and determination...now we can show him ours. Keep it up Tyler!! Laurie
