It's been a long cold snowy January. Wylie has his ups and downs for certain. The rocky road of tumors. He has nausea and occasionally beyond. Doing relatively well for the course. Wylie has been in school on and off. We have played in the snow and hiked on teh pretty days. He has as much fun as a 10 year old can in between. He is enjoying his new puppy dog, a 3 month old Storm Chaser an English Bulldog, with a black eye. That was one of his wishes if he could wish for anything. However his and own wish is for at at this point a short haired medium height dog that Wylie can use to support him when he walks, possible with some special needs training. He thinks he would like something like a black lab if anyone knows of a mature,fixed, house broken, calm devoted dog that would make a great that needs a great kid. Wylie's clinic visits every other week are looking good according to oncologist Dr. Ana Janss. Feb was off to a great start with Wylie being so much more interested in his friends and hobbies. Enjoying playing with his brother and sister and taking care of their Christmas horse Caraway. Taking more interest in sports and even participated in a little baseball practice with the family this past weekend. Wishing he could play this year. Maybe he can join in just a little. Risks of injury were too well known today when he fell at school and hit his head on a stall door while mom was working out of town. The nurse said The pain was intense, began having shocks in his neck and spine and began having blurred problems. To get to the good news the CT revealed no bleeding, but created a quite an ordeal for all of us. Co-mom Sherri took him to his pediatrician Dr. Todd and when she examined him and referred him to have the C.T. scan. Thank God he is home resting this eve. He asked today "if I was in in heaven would I hurt like this?" We certainly don't want him to find out, and he was assured that he was not going anywhere. Heart breaking question to say the lease. The most stressed day in a while. We know he is strong and will stand tall through this. God has a great plan for a fantastic boy. Thank you for all your support.

Hi Wylie's family! You don't know me, I heard about the amazing Wylie through friends and have been rooting for him from afar. We live in East Point, GA. I have a very very sweet chocolate lab (probably 6-7 yrs old...we don't know for sure) that I would be willing to share with Wylie either permanently or on a trial basis. She has no skills at all, other than being house broken. But she is the most kind and loving dog ever. She is also incredibly calm and loyal. She will sit calmly to receive pets and snuggles and will stare adoringly at you for hours if you let her. If you don't need a dog that comes pre-programmed with skills or training she might be a good fit. You are obviously an amazing family with a lot of love to give, so I would give her to you with no regret if you thought she might be what you are looking for. Just let me know!
Sincerely- gretchen
