June 21st Update

Tyler has been at the Children's for two nights, receiving antibiotic treatments for a nasty infection in his port. It was a scary day yesterday as we awaited results from blood tests to pinpoint exactly what was going on in Tyler's system. Tyler will now be staying at the hospital for at least 5 days, being released on day passes but returning in the evening to sleep at the hospital and receiving the care that he needs to combat this infection. Although his body is showing signs of fighting the difficulties, he needs help to completely eradicate it from his system.

Unfortunately, the Wallis, Roach, and two other families were scheduled to leave for a week's vacation in New York State today. Tyler and Mark will be staying behind, hoping to visit for a day on one of Tyler's day passes.

Please pray for Tyler's strength. We are very thankful for his diagnosis, but feel very sad that he is not able to vacation...

Get well Tyler!!! A vacation is much needed for your entire family.

I hope they remove his port as this same type of thing happened to a good friend of mine and once they removed it his health just blossomed!

You are doing a great service by keeping us all up to date. We are sorry to hear Tyler is missing his vacation. The summer has just started so maybe he will be able to go in July or August. Love A. Helen
