We received the following update from Tyler on Saturday evening (his Sunday evening).  We did not receive any additional words from him on his Pday today.

I'm alive! I know you probably want lots of details on my sickness, but I don't have much time. President and Sister Cummings drove down from Hamilton to give me some food and make sure I'm okay.  My companion still needs to email though so I don't have heaps of time. I got sick on Sunday and went to the doctor on Wednesday. I have had a fever since Sunday. Sun-wed I had a fever of about 102-104 but since Thursday my fever has dropped and stayed from about 101.5-102.3 or so. The sickness I have is just a form of influenza and not pneumonia.  The antibiotics they gave me were a precaution to help me avoid getting pneumonia.  The clinic I went to was an emergency clinic.  The doctor didn't take any tests. He listened to my heart, lungs and took my bp and looked into my throat. I have been talking with a bishop from another stake nearby who works at that clinic but he didn't see me. I have called him and told him my symptoms and he has told me that once my fever goes away the sickness will be done. He said it’s really good that my fever is dropping.  I'm feeling much better though and I want to thank you all for the fasting and prayers. Please don't worry about me; everything is going to be alright! I can't wait to be able to share more with you all.

Lots of love,

Elder Brunson
