Tye Blanton, Infant Son of Slain Trooper, Has Died

Tye Blanton had recently been transferred back to Mission from Duke University Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Durham, hospital spokesman Ryan Chambers said.

The Sept. 3 surgery had been successful, but the child was still listed in critical condition with serious cardiac and neurological conditions.

Tye was born seven weeks premature May 31, less than two weeks before his father was shot to death during a traffic stop on Interstate 40.

About

This used to be one of several political commentary blogs I ran until I got tired of updating several blogs, and consolidated them on Thunder Pig, and moved the group blogs to a Ning network.

These photos are a reflection of where I am throughout the day, and a celebration of life west of the Balsam mountain range in western North Carolina.
