Spring 2012

Hi Everyone!  It's been way to long since I've updated this!  Tyler is doing well and has been a very busy boy :) 

MARCH 2012--Tyler had a biopsy done on the kidney, in Seattle.  The reason for it was because his lab levels just hadn't been where they should be.  The preliminary results were very positive, showed no rejection.  He was admitted overnight, standard procedure. 


After we got back he got to visit his sister Katie before she went to prom. She means so much to him, here's their pic :)

Love 'em

We had the most snow all winter in late March!

APRIL2012-the Seattle docs were in Great Falls and mentioned that the final results of the biopsy showed "borderline rejection."  Huge shock!  So he was admitted in April to Benefis here in Great Falls for 3 days of an IV anti-rejection med to really shut his immune system down so it wouldn't "attack" the kidney anymore.  After the 3 days, he was released on oral Prednisone.  He had to take that up until yesterday.  He had lots of visitors in the hospital this time--so that was nice about being admitted here! So now, fingers crossed that labs stay at his normal!

MAY2012-On a non-medical note, Tyler started T-ball a couple weeks ago!!!  He is doing wonderful and having a lot of fun:)  Last night when he ran to 1st base, we cheered & he took a bow ha ha!  It's so nice to see him doing this kind of thing.  He's come a long way and is growing up so fast!

 He has had quite the appetite since starting the Prednisone, as it is a steroid.  I'm hoping the appetite part continues even now that he's off of the med!  Hope you and your families are enjoying a wonderful spring!!!  Stacy
