Day 91.... 3 months ago Tyler's life changed forever. But Tyler has fought everyday since July 6th. He has amazed, and blessed us every hour of every day. Yesterday he went to the 7th grade football game, and got his picture taken with the team. That was exciting for everyone. He has had a wonderful first weekend home. He made it to church today, and was even able to take communion. Last night was another wonderful milestone. Kara was up in Archibold with Erica, and Bob needed to tell her something. Bob called her to, tell her that Tyler said "Mom", and about 30 minutes later he said "Dad", and to Bob's delight- Tyler woke him up at midnight, to have a conversation!!!!!!! He has been saying short sentences and words today. What a Wonderful thing to hear him say our name and I love you. He also really enjoyed doing the OH --- IO cheer with his cousins pretty much all day today. He would say OH and the boys would return with IO. He is working on his walking today. He is eating more food, Mt Dew is still his drink of choice. Tomorrow will be a big day for him, he starts his outpatient therapy in Van Wert. So he will be meeting his new therapists, and they will be doing their initial assessment, and starting right in on work. This has been a very blessed Sunday, and we pray God continues to work his miracle with Tyler each day. Thank you for being there to share this miracle with us. It means so much.

God is good all the time and all the time God is good. We are continuing to pray for Tyler and the family. Keep up the work in therapy. It won't be long before you are walking without the walker.
