September 9th Update

Tyler took a trip out of his room yesterday, to the “Park in the Sky”. This is a solarium-type park at the Children’s, which allows patients to get a bit of fresh air, without leaving the hospital. Bethany and Hailey visited as well as Tyler’s buddies Robbie, Caitlin, Michael, Karen and Jamie. He was very pleased to see all his friends! He is speaking much more, calling Darla at 11:30 at night, just to chat. He now has a feeding tube in his nose, as he is reluctant to eat. Today, he had some rice, although it didn’t stay down very long. He also received a blood platelet transfusion today, which is an expected occurrence. Although he was disappointed that he was unable to play in the park today, he now has something to look forward to. Visitors are still not permitted in his room, but hopefully he will be able to exit his room soon, for some hugs and kisses. On September 28th, our friend Laurie has organized a team to walk in Tyler’s honor in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. We encourage you to join us in this walk, or to donate to this important cause. We have placed a link on this blog (to the left) or you may contact anyone of us for more information. Thank you for your prayers and support!

Tyler is a true inspiration to all of us. He shows us what incredible strength, patience and resilience can come from even the littlest of us, what it means to persevere and to remain hopeful and optimistic for the future. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family. I would be honoured to walk on Tyler's behalf on Sept. 28th if there is still some availability.
