Updates from Mom...

Tyler's mom, Kristie, has been updating her facebook pretty regularly for the many people praying for Tyler over the past few days... here they are from the day. (Even one before his break!)

"Last day of leap testing for Tyler!!!:) AHHH!! That means he is going to high school!! My baby is going to high school!!!!"

"Prayers needed tonight! Tyler is in hospital with multiple breaks. While in therapy today, he was standing with assistance and we heard a loud crack. Both ankles broke and his right humerus shattered in several places. Left ankle is displaced; in quite a bit of pain so prayers greatly appreciated!"

"He had an ok night; when morphine would kick in he would be able to rest; they are giving him morphine and Valium for the muscle spasms"

"Doctor came in and said that because his bones are so thin, they are going to be putting some pins in the ankles to put them in place and then with the arm because it is so smashed up, they are not sure what they can do and if they can put a rod or not; doctor does not think he will have full use of his arm again and if he will ever be able to stand again. Im trying to be strong and not believe a negative report; Waiting for CT scan right now, pray for no pain, not sure when surgery will be"

Kristie on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 10:07 am -
"This is a question for all you OI mamas out there: Have any of your children every experienced a severe mid humerus break where the bone was shattered? If so, what was the course of treatment?"

Kristie on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 2:08 pm -
"Surgery won't be today, possibly not until Friday.. Dr will be here later this afternoon to talk to us about CT results. They put catheter and he is able to drink now and will eat for supper; he is comfortable right now"

"Tyler had a really good nap:) just had some crackers and powerade; spirit is up and he is ok:) thank you Jesus!"

Kristie on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 9:38 pm -
"They had to do CT scan today of his arm to see exactly what was going on; the orthopedic surgeon here at women's has consulted with his regular ortho doctor and a few others. They will do surgery Friday, they will put pins in both ankles and as for the arm, they are all in agreement that they think the best thing is to try and put rod but it won't be an easy surgery because arm is so messed up; actually no doctor wants to even do the surgery because bone is shattered and such poor quality but they will.. I am choosing to believe God for a better report than what they are giving us"

"I'm so proud of Johnny! LHS Small vocal ensemble choir is Orlando bound right now!:) they have worked hard and I am so proud Of them! Love you Johnny!!!"    (a reminder that she has 2 sons! Johnny -16- is going to Orlando with his high school choir for competition! Good luck, handsome!)

"We are up at 1:24AM and watching Karate Kid:) you know I love MY kid!!! Lol"

Kristie on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 7:29 am -
"I have had my moments of being angry and being totally overwhelmed emotionally. Today, I choose to recognize that I am blessed! I have 2 great young men that I am honored to be their mom, the most amazing man that I am honored to be married to for the last 18 years and breath in my lungs and that has only came from the One who created me. No I may not understand what is going on but I HAVE to CHOOSE to believe that He does and He has not left us and He will get us through this!"   (the moment this baby sister starts crying!)

That's all for now... will keep updated as she does!!!
