Post Falls couple achieves goal through faith, perseverance
By Sarah Moss, Staff WriterShare:
February 1, 2010 — Having a family was a dream that Travis and Debbie Tysz chased for a long time.
The couple was sealed for time and all eternity in the Portland, Oregon Temple on Feb. 18, 1997, and started their attempts at having children shortly thereafter. Their efforts were in vain, however, as they, like thousands of other healthy married couples, were faced with fertility challenges.

They tried fertility assistance, and then stopped to give Debbie a break. Then they would pick back up where they left off. This cycle went on for over eight years. They never gave up hope, even though their fertility journey was both painful and disheartening. Debbie felt strongly that she would someday have a child, but realized that Heavenly Father had a plan for her and Travis. She said that when they were meant to have a child, she would have one.
But, in October of 2003, their efforts to start a family were halted as Travis was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma (a cancer affecting the body's white blood cells) and was promptly put on chemotherapy treatments. The couple was advised to stop all efforts at getting pregnant, and to take the proper precautions while Travis was undergoing chemotherapy, a treatment that can often negatively affect a mans' fertility, and is known for causing birth defects in children conceived while chemotherapy drugs are still in the father's system.
