Day 117..... It has been 4 months , and home for a little over a month, Ty continues to amaze physicians, family, and friends. His therapy continues to progress well. He is walking on the treadmill for three minutes at a time. He is working on throwing a ball over his head. He continues to work on his speech. In the evenings Mr Strickler comes and works with his school work. They are working hard on spelling, vocabulary, science, health, and writing. All of which he continues to show improvement everyweek. All of the therapists and Mr Strickler are doing an awesome job with Ty.!!!! THANKS!!!! In the eve he works on walking some in the house; transferring himself from his chair to the couch, going up and down the steps. He can get in and out of vehicles on his own. He also likes to start his mom's Yukon while he is waiting on her. We have aslo determined this evening that he is better at juggling than his mom but has to have a little more practice in order to be better than Seth. Also when Erica picks on him too much he is very capable of jumping straight up out of his wheel chair (on his own) and getting her in a bear hug!!! Quite amazing actually and Erica was Very Surprised!!!
The trauma surgeon gave an educational talk at Van Wert last evening to the paramedics, and Tyler was the case study. Also his Dr. from Toledo came and talked about his rehab. He was able to meet with both Dr.'s and the nurses for ICU nurses from Parkview came to see him too. He has been able to meet the people on the squad and lifeflight, and talk with them. This week when he was up in Toledo for his Dr. appointment, he was able to go visit the girls from his rehab and talk with them and give them a hard time. He really enjoyed that.
Tyler is doing wonderful, and it has a little bit to do with modern medicine, but it has everything to do with prayers and God healing him. Thanks for the support and prayers that continue to go up for Ty even after he is home.
