Luke has had to have many different operations, scans and checks.

• aorta pexi - involves cracking open stenum for some general rumaging about with heart and airways
• laparotomy - involves an incision through the abdominal wall to gain access into the abdominal cavity
• CT Scan - a special kind of X-ray machine. Instead of sending out a single X-ray through the body
• bronchoscopy - a procedure which can help to diagnose some conditions of the airways (bronchi)
• thoracostomy -  involves making an incision between the ribs (under the armpit)
• pneumonectomy - the surgical removal of a lung
• tracheostomy - a surgical procedures on the neck to open a direct airway via an incision in the trachea
