Post from Facebook.  Here is a picture of our youngest member of Team Tia!:  Love you cousin Tia!!! Can't wait to meet you!!! Xoxo — with Joe Hanson.

Tia is officially in surgery. The OR nurse called and said she went down very peacefully! thanks to everyone for all the love and support!

Posted on the Children's Medical Center Facebook Page:  Tia Hackett (center) is all smiles sitting with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo today, only hours before the 7-year-old's heart surgery. The players and cheerleaders brightened our patients' day by signing team photos and handing out socks stuffed with goodies. Stay tuned for updates on Tia as we follow her journey at Children's.

Hello Team Tia! Couple of details for you all - if you come to visit Tia, call or send her something, you need to use her full first name SANTINA HACKETT. It's a security measure at the hospital. Also, we are in the Main Hospital at Children's Medical Center Dallas (not the Pavilion Building that is the first building you see off of the highway). Take 35 to Medical Center Drive, left at the end of the ramp, through 2 sets of lights. Before the 3rd set take a left into the main entrance of the hospital. Valet parking is $5 and is worth it so you don't have to navigate the very challenging parking lots!
