Tyler's visit to Emilee- by Jamie

So, lately Emilee's imagination has been running wild like things coming after her (monsters, dragons, lions, tigers, etc.) . Well, today she told me she could see Uncle Tyler. I didn't believe her at first because of her wild imagination, but I went along and I asked her what he was doing and she said he was giving her a love and saying how he missed us. But just as she said she saw him, she clung to me like she use to do around him. She really has to warm up to you before she will get too close to you, especially men. I told her to tell him we missed him so much and we love him. This went on for like 30-45 minutes that she was talking to Tyler. We went to Sam's club and she told him he couldn't go with us because he had to be in heaven. So, we are driving to Sam's and she said "I love you Uncle Tyler", I asked where he was and she said he was sitting in the front seat, and pointed right to it. Then she started saying thing like "sometimes we get sick and go to heaven" like Uncle Tyler was telling her why he had to go to heaven. Oh, I should add that while in the car, the song that is on his blog by Enya was on the radio too. Not much was said of him once we got to Sam's club, but maybe he was protecting us from something on our way over there. What do you think? I believe he is our guardian angel and really hope he is able to visit us often. I have no doubt that little kids can see spirits and the veil is not lifted quite yet so I really believe she can still see him. But for it to come up out of the blue was just so weird, but I know he is still watching over us. Our guardian angel. I miss him so much.


Do You Believe in Angels? I sure do.

Taste of what Tyler was able to do

I combined a few videos into one. The first part of this video is one of the times he was doing so well walking. He did get to be even better than this, we just didn't get it on video. I wish we would have thought about it. But at least we got some of it recorded. Tyler had a sore toe and so that is why he is having a harder time walking in this video. The second part of this you will have to turn your head to watch it because I recorded it weird...so sorry about that. But, here's a little taste of what we had to look forward to when we went to visit him each time. He always did great in physical therapy. He was always making an improvement each and every day. When he first learned how to walk again he would slouch really bad and would cross his feet over the other and had a hard time looking up. But he soon grew out of that and got better and better every time. We were all so proud of the accomplishments he made!!!

Another video

Here is another video of Tyler. About 2 minutes into it Holly asked him how he slept but it's not in the video. It just goes into him answering the question. Didn't want you all to be lost.

Videos

We were able to get a couple videos of Tyler when he was at the care center. One of the ones is when he went to McKay Dee the first time around because his eyes had started crossing and he couldn't swallow. I love the videos of him at the hospital because he was totally himself....he was Tyler. I can watch these videos over and over again and never get bored of it. I know this will probably be hard for a lot of you to see as it was for me. But, these are the good times we will look back on.
