2/6/06- Tyler Update #4
Tyler responded positively to the shunt procedure, enough so that they have completed the MRI mask fitting for radition therapy and plan on moving him back to St. Jude's today. We're not sure if they will begin radiation today or not, but will give an update as soon as we can. Continue to pray for Tyler and the Scott family.

Dear Howard, Dana, and Tyler,
We love you. Alison came home on Wed, and wanted to paint. She painted a picture, brought it to me, and said, this is for Mr. Scott. He needs it! So, I have sent it to you. May it be a reminder of how many lives you have touched, and how many people are here to support you on this journey.
Jenn, Lawrence, Laurie Ellen, and Alison

Praise God that the shunt procedure was successful in relieving the pressure on sweet Tyler's brain! We are overjoyed that God has answered everyone's prayers that he make it over this hurtle! We are literally on our knees praying to God for a miracle. He will provide!
So much love,

We are so glad to hear that Tyler did well with the operation. We are praying for you. Is there an address there in Memphis where we could send cards, notes, etc, to ? Or should we send them to the home address?

You all are in our prayers. Wendy S. called about Tyler. I could not help but think about last summer at the OG pool. Tyler was playing and telling us all how he wants to be a daddy. He is a sweetie pie. Give him a hug and remember we are praying for you.
Your friend, Lisa Jolly
Dana & Howard,
I've been to the website so many times this morning, hoping for an update. I was thrilled to find that Toolman responded so well!
To say you are all in our thoughts and prayers would be a gross understatement. You are in our hearts, too. You have an amazing support group and this website is so appreciated.
Take good care of each other. Prayers and positive thoughts continue to flow your way.
Much love,
Arlene and John
Our prayers are with you all. Tyler sounds like a very stong boy and loved by so many. I received an email from someone who works with Tyler's grandparent about Tyler. I wanted to send a message back and let you know I am praying for all of you.

We wish you only the best for Tyler and your family. I am Andy O'Hara, a friend of Meredith Jefferies, whose daughter Emily goes to school with Tyler. Our 9 year old daughter McKenzie is a patient at St. Jude for Hodgkins Lymphoma. She just completed 12 weeks of chemotherapy and leaves Wednesday for 5 weeks of radiation at St. Jude. My wife Kim and McKenzie will stay at the Ronald McDonald House. Please email me at aohara@ppcracing.com or ncoharas@earthlink.net if you'd like Kim's cell phone number so that you may contact her while in Memphis, if you'd like.
We are certain that Tyler is in the best hands at St. Jude, and that all of the prayers make a difference.
Our best wishes,
Mitchell, McKenzie, Madison, Kim and Andy O'Hara
Dana, Tiffany has told us about Tyler. We are pleased to see he is responding. We just wanted you know that lots of positive thoughts and prayers are coming your way from St. Petersburg.

Dearest Tyler,
I had a brain tumor removed recently. Ironically, I had an MRI today to check things out. Since I heard about you, I have not stopped praying but throughout the entire procedure today, I prayed even harder because I knew you were having one too.
YOU ARE A BRAVE YOUNG MAN because, brain stuff is NOT fun.
When I came home and read the news you had responded to the shunt, I was so very happy and thankful. You stay strong and remember that everyone has you in their heart. Your Mom and Dad too!!!!!
Hi Tyler and Scott Family,
I just wanted to let you know that a mass will be said in Tyler's name tomorrow at 8am at the UGA Catholic Center. I have been keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God continue to offer you comfort and peace.

Dana-
My name is Sharon and I met you just last Monday at Susan's house when you did the Southern Living party. I just want you to know that my sister (Kathy Poston) lives in Memphis and wants to do anything she can (she's that kind of person) for you or any of your family. I believe your friend Kathy gave you her home and cell number. She can pick you up, lend you an extra car they have, have you over, take you to church, or just sit with you at the hospital - anything at all. She knows Memphis well and can help you with any questions you or your family might have. She is so hoping you will contact her so that she can be of some help. Our family has been praying for you here in Charlotte also.

Keighley and I are going to do a 5K run on the 18th for you. All the proceed go to St. Judes. We are going to get as many people as we can to run and become part of Tyler's Team. I love you and will run just for you. I am going to make a t-shirt to wear when i run.
You have so many people praying for you. You are a strong little boy. Just think of all the fun times we had at the pool, babysitting, new orleans, my house, and once you get back we will make even more good times.
Remember the John Deer cup i gave you. Well i also have one and for breakfast i drank my milk out of it and thought of you.
I love you more than i can express! The same for your 3 brothers, mom, and dad.

Dana & Howard,
There's a song getting quite a bit of playtime on Christian radio these days called "Cry Out to Jesus." The chorus has been in my head all day:
There is HOPE FOR THE HELPLESS
REST FOR THE WEARY
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and HEALING
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus
CRY OUT TO JESUS
Just want you to know that I'm crying out to Jesus on your behalf - along with many others. The staff of Sharon Baptist Weekday School gathers for prayer each morning before carpool and you are all being lifted up.
Love,
Janelle Hayes
