Tyler's Weekend Nov 11/12
The weekend was quiet, spent mostly relaxing and resting up the muscles for next week. Tyler had a few visitors and was able to get some good rest. He watched the Jets win on Sunday but fell asleep before seeing the Giants stink up the stadium.
Saturday was nice enough to go outside and shoot some baskets. Kristin and Katie were visting and gor to see his basketball skills in action. Matt, Steven and Dan also came to visit and helped Tyler polish off some of his large stash of cookies and candy.
Tyler is looking forward to another week of getting stronger and working with the nice Therapists at HH. Maybe this week he will also tackle some of his homework!
Thank you to everyone all your help from food to donations to prayers for Tyler. We appreciate everything you have done, you are the best.
Love
Tyler, Lori Justin Keegan and Jay

Update for Monday-Wednesday 11/13-15
Hello eveyone. Tyler has been working hard these last 3 days in his therapy classes. The highlight of the last 3 days is his ability to move from bed to chair without the transfer board. This means his upper arm strength allows him to move his lower body without needing much assistance. Lori spent tuesday with Tyler learning the proper way to move him from chair to bed and chair to car. Once the Therapists think that Tyler can move from his chair confidently with our help, he can get a day pass to leave the Hospital. That means he can come home for the day!!! We are hoping that this weekend works out for a day trip back home. He will be at Grandma Ryans for Thanksgiving for sure.
He also got to try out a new wheelchair but decided it didn't give his back the support he needed so he switched back.
Tyler also is able to move from the chair to the therapy table, and then balance with one hand while taking the chair apart with the other. It is really hard but he got it done.
His freind at HHH, Pete, is going to be released this weekend. He had a road bike accident back in August in Poughkeepsie. Tyler will miss his company as he is one of the younger guys there (23). We wish him the best of luck in his recovery. He has a strong positive attitude and should do well. Last week we got to see him do 25 pushups, clapping between each. It was quite impressive. Good Luck Pete!!
Thats all for now. Thank you again to everyone for all the help you have given our family. We truly appreciate it!!
Tyler, Justin, Keegan, Lori and Jay
