Update for Sunday Oct 22
.Tyler had a good day today. His fever has gone mostly away and he is in just a little pain from yesterday's surgery.Today he had the stiches removed from the back operation (9 days ago today!).The Doctor says the incision looks good.
He stayed in Pediatric ICU today and will stay tonight also. The Doctor wants to watch his progress from the ICU. His X-ray this morning looked very good compared to the last few days.
He will not have the same room when he leaves PICU this time. He is like a gypsy: moving all his cards, balloons, and other stuff you all have sent him from room to room. It is quite a job ( I know because I have had to do all the moving).
Tomorrow will be the 2 week mark since the accident. Thanks to all your prayers and good thoughts, Tyler is doing remarkably well and will continue to improve with all your help. Keep him in your prayers so he can get out of Westchester and move to Helen Hayes as soon as possible.
Thank you again for all you have done
Tyler, Jay Justin ,Keegan and Lori

Update on Tyler for Tuesday Oct 24
Sorry there was no update last night (Monday). I was home with Justin and Keegan and after Mrs Grahams AWESOME Lasanga dinner, we just crashed on the coach and watched TV. Lori stayed with Tyler last night. He was moved from PICU to the Pedictric "Theatre" Neighborhood late last night. His new room number is 3212. They do not have regular hospital wards here. They have "neighborhoods" that have a theme. Tyler has been in the Literature and Theatre neighborhoods. There are
also sailing and sports neighborhoods for younger kids. They are very nice and quiet.
Today (tuesday) Tyler had physical therapy again and had to sit up and balance himself on the bed (with his legs hanging over) He did great according to the Therapist. Tomorrow she wants to get him to try to slide himself off the bed to a chair.
His right chest tube may be removed tomorrow if all goes well. The left will stay until at least friday. That means he will be here at Westchester until the end of this week. Helen Hayes is just around the corner!!!! Yeah
Aunt Maureen is off to South Africa in 2 more days, so Tyler will be doing everything he can to make her happy when she gets back. That means working hard at rehab so he can give her an awesome birthday present ... maybe some wiggling toes!! Happy birthday Aunt Maureen... we love you and we hope you have a great trip!
Thats all for now. Tyler would also like to thank everyone for the prayer service held tonight. Mrs Boffa and Mrs Nutt did a great job. He can't wait to see the video.
Thank you all and Tyler sends a big long distance hug to everyone.
Tyler, Jay and Lori
