tyler - ever stubborn 030611

Tyler's brave fight against his brain tumor.

 Dr Hauffmann the neuro surgeon calls Tylers tumor extremely rare and extremely unusual.  And typical of Tyler he is doing this his way and not the expected way.  Tyler Ketchum is alive and still in a coma. His body is determined to live. Life support was taken off 24 hours ago. Tyler has faced this whole journey through the brian tumor fight with calmness, dignity, and courage. The last thing he wrote to his Dad was "God is with me". One of the last things he said to me was to let everyone know that he was going to be okay wether he lived or died because God was with him.He figures either way he wins.  He was just worried about the rest of us, especially his Mom. I wish I could see what he is seeing now because every now and then he has this cute grin spread across his face.  It only lasts for a moment but those moments are precious.

  1. Our Circle of Prayer held Tyler close yesterday at St. David's, Halifax. Vivian visited here 6 or 7 years ago and people still remember her contribution.

    Blessings to all who have kept this vigil.

    Kenn Stright, Minister
