Day 19.... Yesterday Tyler hit another rough spot. His right lung has started to collapse again. This time they asked another surgeon who specializes in heart and lungs (cardiovascular) to evaluate him. He did not want to do any surgical procedures to fix the lung at this time. Mainly because Ty obviously would have to undergo anesthesia again, which none of us are real anxious to have that happen. It was decided to place the chest tube back in. This is reoccurring because he is on the vent and his right lung is weak, and the extra pressure at the end of his breath after time is enough to pop a little hole, thus collapses his lung because the air again goes in the wrong place. He may possibly have the tube in until he is off the vent, to help protect that lung, but time will tell. Otherwise having a rough day yesterday, he is hanging right in there. A special note to all of you wonderful awesome prayer warriors. We want to focus on the brain stem and releasing the pressure and healing of the cranial nerves so he can start swallowing, and moving his face, and eye, and building his overall strenghth. Every positive step that has developed has been GOD and EVERY PRAYER that has been said.!!!!!

To the Priest family:

I have to tell you all, my sitter walked into my house this morning and I saw this bright glow on her wrist (it was early this morning and the lights were off) and I said Wow your wrist is glowing and she said these are the bracelets they are selling for Tyler. She said she kept putting her arm under the covers last night because it was catching her eye when she was trying to fall asleep. They are awesome! Way to go to the Parsley family and whomever else was in on the idea!!! So as the town of Archbold lifts up their prays and "lights" up the nights, please keep the faith and follow the Lords lighted pathway as he guides you on this journey! Way to hang in there Tyler, your an awesome kid and your light is certainly shining brightly!!! God's Blessing!! The Hines'
