Lyle’s Story

Site created on January 10, 2023

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Lyle paid a visit to the the ER Friday, January 6th, with concerns of confusion and acting out of character. They performed a MRI and then a CT, and unfortunately a large mass was discovered in his brain. He was able to meet with the Neurologist Saturday and received some news that nobody wanted to hear. The doctors explained that they were very certain it is what they call a butterfly glioblastoma tumor in the brain. With the distinct features, we learned that removal of the tumor is not an option. His time with us is precious and limited. Family and friends will be soaking in every moment.

Lyle has been in great spirits and has loved all the messages, cards, and visits from everyone! We will do our best to keep everyone updated.
