Today we are 72 hours out. Tyler is stable but the same today, he is still in a coma. Tomorrow he will have a busy day. In the morning he will be getting a tube place in his stomach to help feed him. This is called a PEG tube. In the early afternoon he will have a tracheostomy placed this allows the tube to come out of his throat and allows the ventilator to be placed to his airway in the middle of his throat. This is good because as he continues to improve and hopefully come off of the vent it will be easier for him. Right now if you can image it is like breathing thru a small straw, which can take a lot of energy and he needs to conserve energy to heal his brain.
Thanks to EVERYONE for all of the love, prayers, signs, support, wonderful tshirts that i have heard has been designed by a special group, and all the wonderful food to help keep our energy up!!!!!! We can't begin to express our gratitude to everyone.

My family and I have been praying everyday for Tyler and you all.
You are always on our minds.
God's miracles are amazing, and I know that he will never stop working on Tyler.
We are praying for ALL of you. My family believes in miracles. Please continue to keep the positive hopes. Wish we could do more for you. Just remember you have great family and a community of friends that will do anything/everything you need and want. Hopefully, I can give you a laugh by correcting my grammar in the first one that I had to delete and re-do. My kids told me little things like that doesn't matter, mom.

We have placed Tyler and the family on our church's prayer list. We know that God sees all and has "pulled" off many miracles in the past.
We personally pray for all those involved in this tragedy.

Your whole family is in our prayers. Keep up the faith and remember "The good news is the bad news is wrong." God Bless you all.

Praying for all of you. You've been on my mind constantly since I heard the news. I haven't seen Tyler since he was...3??? Maybe 4? But, he was the sweetest of all things. Tyler was even on my list of names to name my son (you know how kids you've met either make you love or hate the name=)...but, he was such a wonderful little boy! We'll be continuously praying for Tyler and the rest of you as you fight this battle!

The fight and will to live that Tyler has demonstrated should be a powerful example to us all. May God bless him and keep him as He works in and through everyone involved. EVERYONE...pray without ceasing!!! We look forward to seeing what great things God is going to do through Tyler Priest!!!
Continuing to pray for healing for Tyler and family. God Bless...The BArnhart's
Just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you- more than you could ever imagine. So many people love and care for your whole family- some of these people you have probably never even met. May the Peace of Christ be with you all-

We want you to know how much you are being prayed for in Alabama. You are on our church prayer list. I know it doesn't make any sense at all and never will except to know God makes no mistakes and that He will be glorified through your lives and Tyler's life. Hang in there and keep focused on the task ahead. God will give you grace and we will continue to pray for that grace to get stronger daily.
Our love,
Frank and Maristel (Silvestri)Venezia
Know we are praying in Alabama. Our church has added Tyler to our prayer list. there are no words to comfort you but to say we know what it is like to sit by the side of your son when all seems so grim. We know what it's like to see your parents and family worn and grieving. We also know that the wonderful grace of God will sustain you until he is whole again. I am keeping in daily contact with the blog so thanks for allowing us to be a part of your saddest time and support you in prayer.
our love,
Frank and Maristel(Silvestri)Venezia
