October 10th Update

The past week has gone by very quickly, with Tyler settling into his new daily routine. He is still being fed by a feeding tube in the evening, but Tyler is gaining his appetite slowly. He is asking for certain foods, and sometimes his eyes are bigger than his stomach, but at least the desire to eat is there. He still has a strong aversion to chocolate, which is a common complaint to individuals who have received chemotherapy treatments. Tyler, Mark and Darla spent the morning at the Children’s to run some routine tests on Tyler, and his results could not have been better. He appears to be producing his own, healthy bone marrow, and although most patients are required to return for checkups every few days, Tyler’s results have permitted him to return in one week’s time! This is wonderful news. I am confident that Tyler will be busy playing with Bethany, as they seem to be catching up on time lost. Please continue to pray for his healing, as he is still not walking on his own, and has a bit of a ways to go to his full recovery. However, he is certainly on the right path.

Darla, Mark, Bethany and Tyler,

Congratulations to you all!!! I could not be more relieved or feel more rejoiced in knowing that Tyler is finally at home and seems to be doing wonderful. You all deserve some "normal" family time and peace in your lives.

Love to all.

Della and family
