Tyson Update

As many of you know, Tyson has a heart condition called pulmonary ductis arteriosis. This is a congenital defect that usually is found in larger breeds. The condition causes the heart to not pump enough oxygenated blood into the left side of the heart. Without intervention, heart failure and death are imminent.

Due to this, Tyson has undergone surgery today to repair his heart. We took him to a specialist yesterday and they did the echo cardiogram to verify the diagnosis. Surgery was moved to today due to Tropical Storm Ida's arrival here on the Coast.

We just heard from the Doctor. Tyson is out of surgery and the irregularity is repaired. The difficulty that he faces now is recovery. If problems are going to happen, they typically happen now.

Thank you for all of your prayers and support. Please continue to pray for his recovery.

Much Love!
Jessica

PS: Ida was not a big deal at all! We are all fine!
