Day 10...... As the days go by and we strugggle through the calm quiet days, it makes the good days even better. Tyler had a good day today. He was responding to the simple commands again today. Squeezing hands, moving toes, and making some facial expressions. He is still in a coma but we continue to be hopeful everyday. Today he also got a very special gift from his mom. As Tyler is in bed he is at risk for something that is referred to as foot drop. This is when the Achilles tendon in the back of the ankle becomes lazy and gets contracted, and pulls his foot "feet" down. So when he awakes it will make it very difficult to walk. So it is important to keep his feet flexed and the best way to do this it to put his feet in high top shoes. So Kara went out on a mission and after multiple attempts at trying to find good High top tennis shoes, decided to go with these wonderful looking large cammo hunting boots. Not only are they doing a great job they look really GREAT in his hospital bed. He has them on for two hours and off for two hours. Tyler's new boots are not only helping him, they are helping they family smile. Tyler keeps fighting every minute of every day, and is able to do this because of all the support and prayers from everyone!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Tyler...you are a miracle. We continue to pray and think about you and your family often. Your friends worry about you but know you are a strong willed kid who will fight every minute to come back to them!

Kara...it was nice visiting with you and Tyler yesterday. I will be up again this weekend to see you both. I know I have told you before but hang in there and take care of yourself. It is good that you and Bob got out of that hospital for even just a short time. I saw that Nathan Ross sent you a message, Kara I think it would be good for you and Bob to meet him. He and Alyssa were friends and he is also a miracle. I hope he can get up there o talk to you both, he knows better than anyone what Tyler is going through.
Stay positive!
