‘Proud of this girl’ By Chris Valli
A life changing operation in Germany for Blenheim dancer Tyler Barnett has been successful. The 16-year-old Marlborough Girls’ College student has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) which affects the skin, joints and blood vessels. Tyler also has Abdominal Vascular Compressions Syndrome (AVCS), meaning she lived in agonizing pain and was dependent on a feeding tube. AVCS is largely improved by external stenting of the affected organ, a major surgery performed in Germany, where it was developed. Continued on page 2. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: Lorissa and Tyler Barnett pictured in Düsseldorf, Germany. Lorissa says Tyler is recovering well three weeks after the operation and ‘will dance again’.
