Surgery Update and a Glimpse into our days

Tyler's vitals are good, except that he's running a fever still. They are going to try again for surgery in the morning. Please pray that his vitals will stay stable and he will have a successful surgery in the morning. If you could also pray that the family gets some much needed sleep tonight, that would be great.

Since we've got some good news going, I'll lighten it up and welcome you to our new temporary home, the waiting room. We've basically moved into the place. I haven't seen less than 8 people there at a time, and as many as 25 or so. He's got a huge support system, both on line and in person!


The place wasn't clean enough for Patty, so she brought in all of her own cleaning supplies and scrubbed the bathrooms, door handles, pop machines, window sills and mopped up the floor a bit.


She even put a candle in the bathroom to make it a little homier!


And because those waiting room chairs do NOT make for a good night's sleep, we've added some air mattresses to our arrangements. 


We're eating healthy...okay not so much...


Patty is taking a lot of pleasure in giving Cheri a painful massage here...


Here's Tammy at her "home office" working on some IEPs



I don't know where Patty found this wheelchair for a little comic relief this afternoon


As you can see we're laughing, crying, eating, sleeping and even cleaning - we're totally settled in...but ready for our boy Ty to get better so we can all get out of here! 

I also want to give a shout out to our support systems who are keeping up with our laundry, house cleaning, taking care of our babies, bringing us food, etc. etc. so we can live our lives in the waiting room for a few days or weeks, or however long it takes. We have amazing husbands, families and friends!!!!

Love you all!!
