Just got off the phone with Tammy and Shawn....
Seth will have surgery today at 12:30 to remove the infection from his lungs. He has pleural infusion, and the medicines won't do the job, they have to physically go in and scrape out the inflammed fluid in his lungs. They'll also put in a tube to keep draining the fluid out. Tammy said the doctors described it as trying to clean a canned ham.
He was hacking up a storm in the background, but still trying to find the remote control to change the TV station.
Just like a guy.
She said he will be moved to Pediatric Intensive Care afterwards, and be there for about a day.
I passed along all the support from TCS, she said she is thankful that everyone is thinking about them at this time. Things are looking up, now that they know what he has and how to treat it.
