Tyler’s Story

Site created on June 14, 2019

Welcome to our Caring Bridge 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. 

Hello to all of Tyler's family, friends & biggest fans!  Tyler is scheduled to have open heart surgery on July 2nd to have his aortic root replaced.  He was officially diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome which is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue.  It is the cause of the enlargement of his aortic root, so it's time to get it replaced!  He'll be having the surgery at Doernbecher's up at OHSU.  They tell us Tyler will be in the hospital for about a week.  We'll do our best to keep everyone updated on his surgery and recovery.

Journal entry by Michelle Horton

Hello!

I wanted to give one more update on Tyler.  He had his 6 week follow up with his cardiologist here in Bend on Aug. 13th.  He has been cleared for getting back to "normal".  He's back to work, and active.  I can't believe how fast he healed, but we are all really glad to get back to life.

I want to thank each and everyone one of you again for all of your support and prayers.  It was so nice to see all of the kind words and support he had. 

Sincerely,
Michelle, Andrew & Tyler
