What is Tylers favorite thing about Phoenix Childrens?
Room service! Tyler loves being able to choose his own food from the menu and has been ordering his meals since he was 3-years-old. He loves the playrooms too. The Child Life staff and volunteers help make the hospital so much fun that Tyler gets sad when its time to go home. Tyler loves to “beat everyone at pool in the 2nd floor playroom” and claims to have earned “5 BUCKS!” when he defeated a volunteer. What is the most difficult aspect of Tyler’s treatment? Each day Tyler must get “poked” for his daily infusion of clotting factor. Sometimes Tyler says he doesn’t like starting his day because he knows he is going to get a needle in his arm. The worst part of Tyler’s treatment is suffering through the pain which at time is so bad he’s not able to get up out of bed. At times, he has needed the Hospital’s physical therapists to teach him how to minimize the pain or to help him get up and walking again. Tyler has also missed a lot of school in recent years. This is a major concern. Howev
