Just when Tyler seemed to be making progress he has hit a setback or two the last couple of days.
Here are the last few posts from Facebook;

Tyler has a fever of 104. Please join us in prayer for him.
Todd: Tyler is doing much better. His fever has gone away. Although he hasn't felt well most of the day. Not exactly sure what could've caused the fever, they took several cultures. No word on any of that. No news is good news. He's been having headaches as well as just body soreness. But later in the day he's been smiling and seeming a bit more comfortable. He looked really bad this morning I could tell there was a problem. We all just kind if tag teamed him to see if there was anything obvious that could've been causing the spike. Uncovered him from his sheet and just stripped him down. I put cold wash cloths all over him and within a short while his temp slowly started going back down. We just been hanging around today. They're letting him taking it easy today, therapies in his bed. That went well. We've been watching movies and just trying to keep him comfortable. Thank you all for the love, prayers and support. Will post anything new. Love to all!!
Todd: Tyler going down for surgery. This was unplanned until a short while ago. Will post more info in a bit. Another shunt. Prayers up please.
Todd: Tyler is back in his room and is doing ok. Surgery was not a success. The shunt they put in last time was directing the fluid to the right place but the fluid was not absorbing into his abdomen. He said two reasons can cause this, fluid is infected and his body is rejecting it or the scar tissue from the liver injury isn't absorbing the fluid. He just put a drain in the top of his head to get the fluid off and relieve the pressure. They said neurosurgeon and a general surgeon would need to go in at the same time to find a clear spot to drain it to. Not sure when next procedure will be. Know more tomorrow. He is back in his room and is good. Surgeon said as soon as he got to the fluid, it started releasing off his brain. He said there was lots of pressure on his head. That's been causing the bad headaches. That should improve his headaches. Will post more a little later. Thanks so much for the love and prayers.
