November 6th Update

Halloween was absolutely spectacular. The weather permitted Tyler to spend the evening outside, meeting people who had read about him in the local paper, or who had seen him on TV. He is now a local celebrity, with most people calling him by name. He was able to go door to door, as Dr. Maya chaperoned his trick or treating. Tyler had a change box for the Children's Hospital and was more focused on getting spare change than Halloween candy. When the house owners opened their doors, he was sitting in his wheel chair, in his Spiderman costume asking, "Avez-vous des sous?". We received over a thousand trick or treaters, and were complimented many times over on Shaughn's amazing creativity. We have been blessed with Tyler being home for the last two weeks, but he will soon return to the Children's for his routine tests. He is still very weak, and still unable to walk, but we are hoping that he is able to see his physiotherapists more than once every two weeks. The little man is still exhausted, asking to go to bed most evenings. We often have to remind ourselves that although he has been through more than most adults, he is still just a little boy. Please continue to pray for his healing. Thank you again for your kind words and support.
