Day 28..... It is amazing how fast and how very slow a month can go. Tyler continues to work hard. He opened his eye for a special item and people over the weekend. A special friend of the family , Lyndsey Ruffer has had the opportunity to work with the OSU Football staff while attending college. She was speaking with the Head Coach about Tyler and Coach Tressel sent Ty an OSU hat that he autographed. This definitely was exciting for Ty he opended his eye for that one for sure!! That was so thoughtful of coach Tressel, please let him know the family greatly appreciates this and his gesture definitely brought joy to Ty and he had a wonderful reaction to it!!!!!! He also opened his eye when his Papa Priest asked him if he should buy a couple of horses... now this made his Papa very excited. He had some nice visits with his friends again this weekend. He does seem to enjoy those visits, especially after working so hard with the therapy girls all week. He has been opening his eye more when people are talking to him, but he is still in the coma for the most part. His lungs are doing well. Tomorrow is the big day. He will be transferred to Toledo Childrens Hospital. The next two days will be very hectic for him, the trip up there and then getting to know all the new doctors and nurses, and therapists. We will definitely try to let everyone know tomorrow eve, more details about where he is and the plans for him from here. Overall this weekend was good and the family is all geared up for the big move. We continue to pray for the ongoing healing and recovery for our precious Ty. Thanks to everyone for your ongoing understanding, support and PRAYERS!

Tyler,

You have probably had a long day with the move. Hopefully you are ready to start the hard work they are going to put you through. This isan't going to be easy Tyler, but hey you are a football player...you know what hard work is!! You better not slack, they say that head football coach is pretty rough and you don't want him on your case! Goodluck Tyler, we all continue to pray for you and your family.

Kara...Hope things went well today. I want to get to Toledo to visit you both so let me know when you want visitors. Plus, I will keep Tyler company if you need to get out of the hospital for a little while. Please take me up on one of my many offers...it would make me feel like I am doing something to help you out! Also, let us know about snacks, food, drinks, restaurant gift cards...anything that will help out. Stay strong and positive, I am thinking about you both.
