Tyler A.

Tyler.
Just your average teenager.
Year 9.
G class.
Blonde hair.
Loves footy.
Heaps of friends.
Really smart.
Wants to be a doctor.
Except there is a few things about Tyler, many people didnt know, until he broke his finger playing footy which triggered a disease called cardio Myopothy.
It essentially means, his heart got tired. And the heart, is the only muscle in the body that is purely designed to NEVER get tired.

Tyler, doesnt have a mum. Something else that everyone is supposed to have.
She died from Cardio Myopothy 6 years ago.
And after that, his dad left him.
Never to return.

Here is this bright and bubbly boy, portraying an "average" life.
When really... He doesnt have alot to be bright and bubbly about.
But that is what is so amazing about Tyler.
He has NEVER EVER EVER taken anything in his life for granted.
Like most of us do.

Even an organ, such as a heart.. we take it for granted.
If tyler hadn't broken his finger playing footy, he would probably still be playing now.

Cardio Myopothy is a strange disease. Its usually hieredatry, so when his mum died, he would have gotten tested, but this disease wont come up on any blood tests, or urine samples until it starts developing, and sometimes, like in his mums case..
Its too late.

In a sense, Tyler is lucky.
And we are all lucky to be in his life.
He's lucky because they caught it.

He was put in an induced coma, after they took out his heart, and put an electronic one in, just to see if his body would reject it.
And luckily, it accepted the electronic heart.
But still, those things only last about 8 months.
Because it will get tired.. and the more it works, the harder it works, the more the rest of the organs in the body depend on it, depend on it to filter and reoxygenate the blood.
and those organs would start dying, when the electronic heart couldnt keep up with a 15 year olds body.

Tyler Airly received a heart a few days ago.
He has a heart right now.
we love you Tyler. See you back at school next year :)
9G really miss you.

some people believe, that if you dont have a heart you dont have a soul.
Does love come from within the heart? Or the theoretical heart.
the : <3 or the : S2 or the: ♥

Some people dont have a "heart"
or a sould
or even a brain :)
tyler didnt have a heart.
But we loved him, and cared for him enough, that even those who believe that if you dont have a heart you cant love, he could love.
Thanks to us.
