Mall & A Motorized Chair

It has been a couple of great days for Tyler!  The Christmas spirit is definitely in the air and Tyler is excited to attend his upcoming benefit concert this Monday.  I don’t know all the performers, but I know at least one has traveled from Missouri just to perform at this concert.  It is going to be amazing! We are so deeply grateful for all the good people that have played a part in this benefit concert.  We hope to see you there!



Natalie, my boys and I took Tyler to the mall yesterday.  The BYU baseball coach gave him a very nice lined sweat uniform.  We helped Tyler change into that to help keep him warm on the way over.  Besides that, he just looked handsome in it!  The nurse and techs gave him his medication to take while gone, refilled his insulin, helped us get him in the wheelchair and we were off!  We pushed him from the rehabilitation center to the mall along the sidewalks. We went from one end of the mall to the other looking for a Christmas tree.   In the end, it was Tyler and Natalie that found one by Macey’s.  It was a fun evening window shopping with Tyler and having ice cream. 

Kyle from Tyler’s single ward stayed the night.  Tyler enjoyed his company so much – thanks Kyle!  

This week physical therapists pitched in and got him a very soft minky blanket that he loves. 



He also got his first ride in a motorized wheelchair today.  Grandma said he went around the facility eight times and had a huge smile on his face each time he passed. One step closer to independence.
Lastly, Tyler’s cousin David and Heather came to visit.  They both just arrived in town for their upcoming wedding.   What a wonderful time of year as families come together to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
