Go Bulldogs! RRRUFFF!

So the last month has been pretty crazy at our house. Tyler went in to the Ear, nose and throat doc to have some scar tissue removed from his nose. While he was under anesthesia during surgery, the anesthesiologist noticed that he was having abnormal heart rythms and recommended that we see a cardiologist. To make a long story short, Tyler has been attending football practice and watching... not participating for the last three weeks hoping that after he saw the cardiologist, he would be cleared to play football and whatever other sports he chooses to play this year. It has been emotional and hard to see Tyler face this challenge in his life. We have felt the strength of family and friends as they have prayed and asked how he was doing and expressed concern on his behalf. I am thankful to say tonight that he has been cleared for sports and that although he does have a condition called Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome (WPW) it is a mild case and can be corrected with surgery. We will probably look into doing the surgery during the summer but are mostly so relieved and thankful that he is ok. There is nothing like not knowing what is wrong with your child. It is even more frustrating to not know at times how to comfort and help him. Tyler has grown spiritually so much in the past month. We are so proud of him and thankful for the strength of his spirit. We are thankful for friends and family who have supported and loved us through all of the challenges we have faced. It has lessened the burden and made it bearable. So, on behalf of Tyler and his entire family... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! In honor of him being cleared for football, we typed this post in his school colors. GO BULLDOGS! XOXO
