Day 9...... Today Tyler was presented with a few more challenges. His right lung collapsed so he got his chest tube back in. He is fighting a few infections, one in his right lung and one in his bladder. The doctors are addressing each issue and adjusting his medications to help him fight. This then slows his healing to his brain when his body has to fight many battles at once. So he is having a hard day today. We are hopeful the antibiotics will help and his body then can focus specifically on healing his brain, and we can start forward improvement again. Each day a prayer goes up.....a prayer is answered. Thanks Love Ty's Family.

Kara...stay positive!! God is watching over him. Also take care of yourself so you can stay strong for Tyler and the girls. One minute at a time.

Bob and Kara and gang!
As our kids are spread across two countries this week, it's been awesome to have messages from all saying that they are continuing to pray for Tyler and are checking for updates. They have others that are with them praying as well. You are all being lifted up from so so many places... Rest in that. Let others lift you up so that you can be the strength that Tyler needs and that you need for each other. God is good! He is working... We have already seen miracles in this and it's been so awesome to see! The bumps in the road are going to happen.. you were anticipating the latest last weekend. Keep your chins up and know that Ty is a fighter!! He gets it honest and he will keep on fighting until he beats this! We believe in him.
We will see you tonight..
We love you guys!
Matt, Laurie and Josh,
Ryan (in San Antonio) Chad (at Little Eden) Tyler (at Miracle Camp... can you imagine all the kids praying for Tyler from there??!!) and Lukas..(in Canada)

We ontincue to pray for Tyler to grow stronger every day. We pray for God's stength also for Bob and Kara, the girls and the whole family. Hopefully next time we will be able to join Haley when she comes up. It means a lot to her to be able to spend time with Tyler, thank you for giving her that gift. Make sure you both take care of yourself. Trust that Tyler is in God's hands.

Bob, Kara and family,

We are praying for you and Tyler everyday. You have seen God do miracles already and you will continue to see Him work in Tyler's life.
Something our pastor said Sunday really stuck me -
"God is in control of everything, everywhere, ALL the time!"
Just hold on to that - it is so true!

Love, thoughts and prayers,

Dean and Maryann
