Carlos Marquez’s son Luke, 1, has undergone five brain surgeries and needs a shunt in his brain to control his hydrocephalus.
Carlos Marquez's son Luke has had 5 brain surgeries in his short life. Carlos Marquez wanted to get a tattoo to honor his son who has hydrocephalus and needs a shunt to drain excess fluid that builds up in his brain.
Luke has undergone five surgeries to help his hydrocephalus. His health seems stable for now, but doctors don't know if he'll need another surgery to help.“Because of everything Luke has been through, Carlos got a really special tattoo for him, which is the shunt. And it’s actually the exact same shunt Luke has,” Eileen Marquez, Luke’s mom, told TODAY Parents. “He has it in the same exact position.
“They couldn’t take a chance of me even going into natural labor because it could have caused another brain bleed,” Eileen Marquez, 42, said. “There were probably 20 people in the room just to be prepared to move if he wasn’t breathing or if he had a bleed. They were prepared for everything.”
