tanner update

Tanner did it! Tanner went into open heart surgery and came out of it a rockstar! Everything went smoothly. Now we just need him to heal quickly so he can come home and get loved to pieces by all of us!

Here is Grandpa Wayne's breakdown of what happened:
The surgeon was able to repair his heart in the way that it will function normally anatomically. In otherwords, they removed the narrow part of the aorta, they rebuilt the aortic arch to make it normal sized, they patched the two holes in the heart, and they were able to push the sub valvular stenosis aside without having to surgically remove it.   They do an ultrasound after surgery to check things out and the surgeon reported there was no obstruction.  So we are very grateful for good news. Ali and Kollin have felt it has pretty much been one piece of bad news after another to this point.

As we sat here today and just thought about all the people in the world thinking of an praying for Tanner, it was kind of overwhelming.  We are grateful for that support. There is no question that it opens conduits from Heaven to assist in things like this.  We are so grateful for this result and know there are miracles involved here. We hope there will not be too many ups and downs ahead but know there may be. But today is good so we will take that.
