Tate's 2nd surgery



Hey guys, we are here at the hospital and Tate's surgery has just started. His surgeon called an ENT doctor in to look at Tate's lungs because he has had several bouts of pneumonia last winter and still has fluid in his right lung. So they put a scope in and found some infection and flushed it out. They also found a blood vessel putting pressure on his trachea. Tate's surgeon is going to try to move the vessel over so he will stop building up fluid and will be able to flush his lungs out on his own. Hopefully Tate won't be getting sick all the time.


They are going to be putting in a bicuspid valve. We don't know how long it will stay in so that will be unknown territory. Continue to pray for Tate, he will be in surgery for a few hours longer. Thanks for all your support and prayers. Here are some pictures from Tate's party last night and the video game his preschool class gave him and a picture of him and daddy this morning getting his blood pressure taken.
