Tanner is a 20 year old young man born with 1 kidney. Dec 2012 Tanner lost his kidney causing him to lose his legs. Feb 2015 Tanner received mom's kidney!!
Long Description
Tanner's first surgery was at the young age of 2weeks. He had 2 more surgeries when he was 2 years old. This takes us to 3 y...ears ago when he had surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. From that moment Tanner had to start cathing due to his bladder had given out. He also had a stent placed that was changed every 3 months. This is because his ureter wasn't contracting anymore. This brings us to December 23rd 2012.
On December 23rd Tanner was thrown from a horse causing his only kidney to burst. He was rushed into surgery to remove the bleeding kidney. During this time his aorta had tore causing him to lose blood flow to his legs. They tried opening his legs to allow the muscles to have room to expand. This was unsuccessful causing doctors to have to amputate both legs above the knees. During Tanner's 13 days in ICU he under went 9 surgeries.
