Our Miracle Boy!

Tyler's guardian angels were working overtime tonight! Ethan and Tyler were climbing trees this afternoon, something that they do all the time, and Tyler slipped on a branch and fell about 25 feet to the ground. He was briefly knocked unconscious, possibly before he hit the ground from branches on the way down, with his head landing on tree roots and his body in the soft dirt on his side. Several minutes later he was crying, but not coherent. Because of the distance he had fallen we called 911(a first for this family) and the Anchor Point ambulance came about 20 minutes later.

Tyler was complaining that his shoulder hurt badly and we attempted to keep him still and calm while waiting for the EMT's to arrive. All the kids were helpful through the tears as they watched their brother lying on the ground in pain. We prayed for him. Steve went with Tyler in the ambulance, and the rest of us stayed home to cry and talk through the events of the previous hour.

Steve called about an hour or so later and said that Tyler was fine...no broken bones, nothing dislocated, everything checked out fine! We believe we had just witnessed a miracle! The doctor had x-rays, CAT scan, and ultra sounds done to check everything on Tyler and they found nothing wrong with him!

Tyler was discharged this evening and is now asleep in his bed...a very sore and tired boy, but miraculously not a broken bone or anything seriously wrong! He suffered a slight concussion, but nothing that they needed to monitor overnight. His right arm and leg are very sore from landing on them, and probably will be for awhile. The nurses at the hospital were calling him the miracle boy!! Thank you Jesus for protecting our son Tyler!
