Tatum Tatum is a very special girl. She has had a hard last (almost) two years. She's a tough kid. March 11, 2005, Tatum received an emergency liver transplant to save her life. It was a very traumatic time for the entire family. We have faith that we've gone though this for a reason. We'll use this site to ponder this and share our experience, both past and ongoing. Right now Tatum is in the third grade and loving it. Our life is starting to show signs or normality. What ever that is. For me, its shifting from medical concerns to well being concerns a majority of the time. Of course there will always be medical concerns influencing our well being concerns. Its a way of life now.
