Crowd Welcomes Home Tulsa Boy After Heart Surgery

A Tulsa boy got a homecoming surprise after having major surgery.

Diego Segovia was born with his heart valves in the wrong places. He had surgery in Boston to fix it, and flew back to Tulsa Sunday night.

A big crowd was waiting to welcome him home, including several classmates from Eisenhower Elementary.

Just preparing for the surgery has been a long process, but Diego said he's feeling great.

"I was really excited, because I didn't think anybody was going to be here this late," he said. "They screamed and yelled, and it made me really excited."

Diego said now that his surgery is over, he wants to start playing soccer.
