Tyler is absolutely wonderful. He's in the 6th grade now and will be celebrating 6 years since his transplant. (April 23rd, 2002) That is just 2 days after his birthday, this year he will be 13! Hard to believe. We feel so very lucky every single day of every week.
We are sorry to hear that Dr Wall will be leaving San Antonio and moving back to Canada. Although we will miss her and I know many others will as well, we completely understand. We include her in our prayers of thanks, without her we would not be where we are today.
Tyler's brother Marc is 17 now and playing football which he loves. He's going in to his senior year in the fall. He's driving which is a big relief on me, but stressful at the same time. So far no fender benders!
Thanks to all who continue to check in from time to time. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
