Welcome to "Tyler's Update Blog." Tyler's friends can find daily updates on his recovery status here...at least I'll try to post updates daily. Please do not give out this URL to anyone, unless you clear it with me first. You can reach me at daward69@gmail.com.
Tyler had a crisis this morning with his breathing and a temperature of 103. They had to put him back on the ventilator and have been able to bring down his fever with Tylenol. Later this afternoon he was doing better and was interactive with his visitors. I was also told his color looked better than it had in a few days. He is still in the ICU and we're not sure at this point how long he will be there. There was talk Monday about a permanent shunt being put into his head this week, but then I heard some second-hand information to the contrary, so I'm not sure on that. I will try to find out.
His recovery process could take up to a year and we were told he will probably never be back to "normal" (whatever that means), but we are still hoping for the best. We all know Tyler and how stubborn he is, so we are expecting great things from him. Thank you all for your prayers and positive energy, and please keep sending it his way!

D - our bodies are miraculous...and spirit and will have so much to do with recovery and ability. Tyler's young and stubborn with a lot of fight left.....all good. And, I know that exiting ICU would be seen as positive progress...but, having witnessed different levels of care numerous times....I would say..,. DON'T rush the exit from ICU. That is really the best place for close observation. We'll keep you all in our prayers - you all have a challenging road ahead....
