Mick went into surgery (procedure) today. Before they proceded Dr. Sadue said they would only be doing one stent & the coiling today because all the literature stated that doing 2 stents at same time with coiling couldn't complicate things so they would come back and do another stent lat It took about 4 hrs. They were not able to stent anything. They ended up coiling the large Anuerisym completely. A total of a little over 7ft of coiling is what Dr. Ryan said to fill this Unwanted, Unneeded and Nuasance of an Annuerisym. Dr. said they tried to stent but it would pop back out and cause more issues and the blood flow was still going to the Annuerisym.The plan is to wait for 4 weeks come back in do another anigram, stent and coil the small annuerisym. Then in another 4-6 weeks bring back for a repeat of angigram and stent. This is all with positive results of the coiling doing it's job.It's now 10:00 and just seen Mick. He just stares into space. Freaked me out with his blood pres. going high and the nurses coming in and trying to figure out whats going on PLUS he was watching t.v. and 1 eye was watching and the left eye went all the way over to the left... A lot of fluttering -spasms in the left eye. Other than this we were all amazed at the size of annueryism. I asked the nurse to compare and she said golf ball size but she wanted to double ck something. She didn't get back with me... compared to what the Dr. originally thought the size was that it was way larger...I can that explains the whole 7ft. of coiling thing..., l9) That just amazes me.Anyhow, I'm going home with Amanda because they are kicking me out....;0) I will be back bright and early.Thank you to everyone for prayers and all who could come to be with us... We love you all.
