Nine days ago, Tyler AKA Tank had a medical emergency and was transported to UVA Medical Center. Since that time, he has undergone several tests and procedures, including an EKG, EMG, MRI, CT Scan, lumbar puncture, and nerve induction in an attempt to determine the underlying cause. He is currently unable to walk independently, but Therapy is working with him, utilizing a walker and muscle strengthening exercises to help him regain his independence. While his doctors finally feel like they have a diagnosis, he still has a long road to recovery. In the coming days, Tyler will be moved to an in-patient acute rehabilitation center at UVA in order to regain function of his legs through physical and occupational therapy. His stay there will be determined by the progress he makes, but estimates are currently two weeks pending any further medical complications. The money raised from this fund will be used to help offset the financial burden he will undoubtedly find himself in once the medical bills arrive. Any additional funds will go towards future medical care he may need. Tyler, and his whole family, will be eternally grateful for any support you can provide.
