Day 16..... Tyler continues to fight today. He continues to have daily physical therapy. He also is getting trial periods where he is completely off of the vent and is breathing on his own with an oxygen mask. He has been doing well lasting almost an hour before he gets tired. They then put him back on the vent for the extra support, so he can rest. Tyler has had some special visitors. This past Sunday our Priest Father Mike was in with Tyler talking and praying with him, and Tyler tried to open his eye several times! Aslo today he had two special visitors. Kyle Keber and Michael Smelser came to visit Ty. He had a wonderful visit with them he tried to open his eye several times and was moving his lips. He was really trying to interact with them.. Thank you so much for these wonderful visits!!! and for the ongoing prayers.

WOW! I am so glad he is trying to interact with people more! It is good to know that two of his good friends would travel over to the hospital to check up on him...nice one Kyle and Michael!

We have been keeping track of Tyler's progress from this blog site for the past week or so and have been moved by his fight and determination. Even though we don't know Tyler or the family very well (only from an occassional "hello" in passing), please know that Tyler has inspired us daily with his battle. There are tons of people in your corner Tyler! We look forward to hearing more positive news. You are always in our thoughts!

This blog site is a great idea... I check it daily and have been praying for the Priest family... God's miracles are definitely at work in Tyler. Stay strong, Tyler!
