Tanner Man is my little hero. We have seen many miracles in the 5 short years we've been blessed with this little boy and we're so thankful that we got one more. We found a lump in the side of Tanners neck about 4 months ago and his doctors finally decided it was time to remove it. On Thursday he went in for surgery and we received the BEST news ever when they called and told us it was benign.

Tanner has 10 little stitches & 1 more scar to add to his collection.
Tanner Man trying to wake up. I was so relieved to have him back in my arms. Cody kept asking me when he could hold him. It's hard to let your child go with perfect strangers. We've had to put a lot of faith in the doctors that have cared for Tanner.
This is the anesthesiologist taking Tanner off to surgery..."Does this kid look scared to you?" He loved the wagon ride.
Tanner and Dad just waiting...sorry my pictures are backwards...it's been a while.
This was just a funny pic...everyone knows how much Tanner hates shoes and socks...first thing he took off when we got to the hospital. Yes we were still in the waiting room. We are so proud of Tanner and how brave he was. We are so thankful to our Heavenly Father for protecting this little boy again and again. And we are so Thankful for all of you...Tanner was so spoiled with visits and treats. He asked me on Saturday night how come people kept coming over and bringing him stuff...I told him they were all proud of him for being so brave and that they loved him...he just grinned his little grin. I have been so touched by all the love and concern everyone has shown my little Tanner. I am so grateful to know you love him as much as I do!
