The surgeons decided to close Tyler's chest yesterday afternoon - a few days before they had originally thought it would happen! They said he was doing excellent, and his swelling had subsided enough to go ahead and close his chest. Let the healing begin! Now he's being weaned off of the sedation and hopefully will be taken off of the ventilator within a few days. Will continue to keep you updated!
God is good. We believe in the power of prayer!
