Tyler Parker knew his whole life he would eventually need a lifesaving gift, a new liver.
The 13-year-old Columbus resident was born with Alagille syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that can affect multiple organ systems in the body, including the liver, heart, skeleton, eyes and kidneys. Liver damage is a signature feature of Alagille syndrome.
“We knew at some point he was going to need a transplant,” said Tyler’s mom, Holly Parker. “It wasn’t if it was when.”
The family, who live on the Northeast Side, got the call about Tyler’s new liver in the early hours of March 12, 2020, after waiting on the transplant list for 15 months, and the now seventh grader at Dominion Middle School received a new liver later that day at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.

Imagine, if you will, not being able to differentiate between reds verses greens or blues verses yellow. Imagine only being able to only see things as gray.
Color Blindness is the inability to see certain colors as they are. The most severe form of color blindness is achromatopsia, where everything appears to be gray. You might think color blindness is rare, but according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, about 1 in 10 men have some form of color blindness. Unfortunately, this condition can limit job opportunities and, because it is typically associated with additional eye problems, it can affect ones way of life in general. Those who are color blind are unable to take in the full beauty of God’s creation.

In Paris. Exactly Seventy Years Ago.
He likely arrived in Paris from Darmstadt, Germany, by train that January, exactly seventy years ago. At 53, and a full professor of applied mathematics and the founding director of the Institut für Praktische Mathematik at the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt, Alwin Walther was among Germany’s leading figures in computation. The calculational prowess of Walther and his Institut–employing all manner of manual, mechanical, and electromechanical approaches–had attracted the attention, and the support, of the Nazi regime during the Second World War. But as Walther made his way to the academic heart of liberated Paris, the Latin Quarter, few passersby would have guessed at this background.
