Tyler is continuing to do well. He got out 2 more chest tubes and they will probably take out the last tube tomorrow. They removed the line going directly to his heart which allowed us to hold him today. Yeah!! It was so wonderful holding him and he loves being rocked. His lungs started to collapse which is common for inactive babies who have been on a respirator for long periods of time. The doctors placed him on high flow oxygen again and started respiratory physical therapy that usually helps the lungs expand. His lungs looked better on an x-ray in the afternoon which is great. They stopped feedings when they took out his tubes and lines and will hopefully start them up again in a day or so. Overall he is doing well. The major concern is getting his lungs and breathing more normal. Thanks for your prayers and love. He looks so good without all of his tubes. Nothing compares to being able to hold him again. All our love.

Just completed the Heart Walk with Dad, Heather, Bob and Betty and it felt great. Met friends along the way and asked them to keep Tyler in their thoughts and prayers as they walked. Can't wait to see our precious little guy at the hospital this afternoon. Love, Mom and Dad
Yahooooooo! Any thought to how long before you get to take him home? He does look so long, and HANDSOME!
We loved the picture of Danny with Tyler! So much love! So wonderful to read good news. We thought of all of you this morning as we walked for the Heart. Tere was such a great turn out, such optimism and caring. Tyler, and yor family are in the prayers of so many. We were sorry that we couldn't join everyone at the hospital, but I have a cold, and don't want to take a risk. Keep up the good work, Tyler! You are loved! B and B
It was great seeing Tyler cuddling for hours on Aunt Heather's lap relaxed and comfy. He just loves being held and we can't wait to cuddle you more...
Love, Grandma and Grandpa
