Update for Monday and Tuesday Nov 6-7
This is a combined update for the first 2 days this week.
Tyler had a crummy day on Monday because his medications made him feel sick. He wasn't himself most all day and went to sleep around 7:30. Tuesday was a much better day. He felt good enough to dress himself without any help. He did his morning therapy and went to the cafeteria for Lunch. Today's therapy involved having him STAND in a special device. The device holds his body up straight and supports most of his weight for him. He stood for about 10 minutes and said it felt good.
Tonight he is excited to see Aunt Maureen because she is bringing him a "zulu sword" from her trip to South Africa. He has been waiting "patiently" for it to arrive. We can only hope it as cool as his zulu warrior sculpture made out of his potatoes last Sunday.
He took a picture of the sculpture with his cell phone and is trying to get it up on the website today.
He also changed to a lighter wheelchair on Monday and it seems to roll better abd steer easier.
It won't be long before he asks to have the wheelie bars removed so he can do some "sweet" tricks.
Thank you everybody and keep those comments coming....anybody got the goose joke figured out yet??

Update for Wednesday Oct 8
Tyler had his first evaluation day by the Therapists and the Doctors. They said he is doing great and the best news of the day is he will be finished therapy on Dec 23 (8 weeks). So we have a date to look forward to. He was working on his wheelchair skills today and claims to have done some sweet wheelies. They took the bars off the chair so he can get the front wheels up high to get over curbs. He learned alot of those skills in Ireland with the team.
Friday we get to work with Tyler on his transfer skills. When they think that everything is good, they will be able to give him a day pass to leave the hospital for a few hours at a time. Maybe next weekend (Nov 18) he can come home for a few hours to see everbody. We will keep you posted.
Cecilia email me at James.ryan@tbsny.toshiba.com. I can't believe you work at WMC.
Thats all for now. Thank you for everything and can't wait to see everybody.
Love
Tyler, Jay Lori Justin and Keeg
