Prayers for Tyler (and Dad)

Just wanted to let people know that Tyler has had a number of really painful nights with his foot, moaning, crying in pain, saying the bottom of it hurts, etc. Yesterday and then especially today we noticed a bad smell from his cast. We looked at the 'Care Cards' we'd received from Children's Mercy Hospital after his surgery and they said that if there is increased pain that is causing crying (which Tyler was having) or a foul odor coming from the cast (another symptom), we were to call the orthopaedic number. We did and to make a long story short we ended up taking him to the ER in Newton at about 6:30. They cut off his cast to see if there was an infection. Unfortunately, they did find an infection on the bottom of his foot. They called Children's Mercy and we were told we needed to take him up there and get him checked into the hospital. So, by the time we got home, packed a bag for Chris and Tyler, and got them on the road it was 10:30 pm. They are still traveling there right now. Please pray for them, safe travels, and knowledge for the doctors when they get there, as well as for Tyler's foot. He's been through so much, we don't need it to get any worse. Wounds can get real bad, so we are praying they get him on the IV antibiotics and that he turns the corner to healing. We are anticipating them being there a few days, so I'll probably try to go with the kids to KC on Sunday so we can all see each other before the week begins. Pray for a quick healing and return home soon.
