Tyler now has a swollen and painful face from the new jaw, but at least he is able to eat a little instead of keeping a feeding tube or living on soup. He turns his face from the public when he eats because he is so embarrassed about his looks. His legs are very painful from places where bone has been removed for two failed repair attempts on his jaw. The screws have come out and he will need yet another surgery. He is deaf in one ear because of the jaw problems and has just a few teeth left. Tyler is home-bound in a neighborhood with few other children to play with. He’s a lonely boy in a lot of pain, but he still manages to inspire everyone around him with his strength.
