(this is the only picture I have have Tyler and he is pretending to be gay)
Anyway, here is the news on his recent surgery...
He had lung surgery today up in SLC because of the recent cancer findings.
He is currently in ICU and Jill said the surgeon said he did really well.
When they got inside they found another node that they removed.
So, in all they removed 2 nodes and actually ended up leaving the cyst on his trachea (since he didn't feel like it was a concern).
In other words, he made a really good decision to have him 'cut rather than scope'.
He will be in ICU for a day and then in recovery and the hospital until probably friday.
They are sending the nodes to the lab and will have results in 2 days.
For those of you wanting more information here is a link to the surgical procedure...
