Update for the Weekend of Dec 9-10
The weekend marks the 2 month point since Tyler's accident (October 9). It also will be the last weekend he has to stay at Helen Hayes if all goes well this week. The original release date was Dec 23. After 2-3 weeks at HH the date was changed to the 13th. It has been unclear if the 13th is the final day but we are planning for this to be the last week.
Tyler spent Saturday out of the hospital looking at a "new" car and afterwards he came home for a few hours. Murph, Trumpet Dan and Tim came by to hang out. Dan showed off his trombone "skills" for us and he promised to keep working on them.
Later on we went to Sweeneys for a late dinner and it was back to HH for the 9:00 curfew. We were 20 minutes late but nobody saw us come in , so we avoided the mean nurse.
On Sunday Tyler had visitors from the Irish American team. Tyler has travelled to Ireland with them over the last 4-5 summers. They brought him some Irish Candy (Curley Whirleys) and bought him a nice lunch. He spent the rest of the day watching the NY Jets look like they forgot how to play football against the Buffalo Bills. Of course, the family from Rochester enjoyed seeing the Bills whip the Jets, and we will hear from them soon about it!
Monday Tyler should get another chance to drive a car, this time on the Palisades Parkway!
Thats all for now...
Thanks to everyone for your continued prayers and support.
Love
Tyler, Keergan, Justin , Lori and Jay

Update for Tuesday Dec 12
Tyler took another driving lesson today and is now officially qualified to drive a modified car. He will have to go to the DMV and get his license changed to reflect this. He is excited to have this done. Next is getting him a car and modifying it with hand controls. He has one picked out and it should be taken care of soon. There is a company in Montgomery that specializes in this type of modification.
He is getting very close to being released from HH and if all goes well he will be home for good this weekend. Then he will work with a tutor to get caught up in school and do some therapy here at home.
Thats all for now
Thank you
Tyler, Justin Keegan Lori and Jay
