Day 41.... Tyler has been busy this week. He has been using a special lift so that he stands and has weight on his legs. He has been opening his eye more when it is not so bright. His pupil is still dilated so the light probably really bothers him. So Kara is going to get a pair of sunglassess with sides so he can wear when he is awake and see if he keeps his eye open longer. He has been working hard with speech on his swallowing, and moving his tongue, and they capped his trach to see if he would try to talk or make some sound. He continues to take trips in his wheelchair. WE are still waiting on the MRI to see what is going on in that head of his for sure. Early next week we should know if the insurance is going to allow for more therapy days or if he will have to go home for a while til he wakes up some more. He is still doing well just not awake enough for the insurance to qualify him for more days. So time will tell. We will continue to pray and take it one day at a time, and continue to Thank God for each little step that he is able to make. We also thank everyone for the ongoing steady support, ,prayers, and benefits that you have done for Tyler, Bob, and Kara. THANK YOU!!!

We would like to thank everyone from Archbold and Van Wert that came out and supported our Archbold Football teams car wash benefit yesterday! The team had a great time serving our community and loved the added bonus of washing the Van Wert bus!! That was awesome!!!
We had the opportunity to meet several people from Van Wert and it was really pretty special. Two communities with a common goal. God is good =)

Van Wert would like to thank everyone whom supported us and helped with the Chicken Dinners. We sold around 1050 meals. It was wonderful and fun. We just can't thank the community enough for all of their support for the Priest Family.
We have an awesome God who continues to bless Tyler and his family daily.
Keep up the good work Tyler. We know your fighting hard.
We love all of you.
God Bless.

Just took a look at Laurie's pictures of the car wash.
I love the one of the Van Wert bus with the Archbold team. How cool is that Mr. Priest?!! Praise be to God for his many blessings!

Still praying hard in Archbold.
