Tyler is a real trooper. Friday was a bad day. He felt really sick and the nurses kept giving him things to make him feel better, which in turn he was sleeping really well. When the medication started to wear off he felt better.
We are learning how to give shots at home, Tyler will need a shot in the leg for the next 7 days. He isn't too happy that Mom and Dad are playing doctor at home. David has been nicknamed Dr. Dave (by himself). We have to flush his picc line everyday with fluids since it is not being used. We are getting a mini nursing degree at home.
We will head back to Primary on Thursday and this will finish his first round of chemo. He will have a two week break from the hospital and then start the next round. In the mean time he has lots of fun at home with pills and shots and dressing changes.
Through all this Tyler is still hanging in there. He is starting to feel the side effects from the chemo which is tired a lot, cold, and his throat hurts. We are taking it one day at a time to survive the chaos here.
Love The McBrides'

Hey Tyler~
I'm so glad you've started your treatments. I know they won't be any fun, but they'll be worth it in the end. You can get through anything for a short time! I AM a little worried about "Dr. Dave" though. You better keep your eye on him! Hang in there and write soon!
Love, Kris
Hey Tyler, Karen and Dave,
We are thinking about you. You are in our prayers daily. We love you. Keep smiling. This too shall pass.
Love the Heinholds
