Mick is still in intensive care unit. His vision is still doubled, when they tried to get him to walk he was very unstable so they made him go back to bed. His left side still has paralysis; maybe a little more than before because he is spilling coffee all over...he said he can't feel that side of his face. He finally got his cup of coffee at 6am ... he also said he didn't sleep any because of all the noise and I have to agree there's no way I could have slept with all the lights and noise that takes place in that room. Dr. Sadue came in to check on him and just confirmed what they did and checked on his status. He stated once again that Mick will have to come back 4 wks for another procedure and then again 4-6 weeks for the next. In addition to this information he told us that when they couldn't get the stents in they were getting anxious and the fear of damaging what they just did was too real to continue trying to put the stents in. I was impressed that he admitted that. I asked him about the size and if the pics were blown up and he said that it was actually 1in across and 1.5 in tall so it was bigger than believed but they took care of it by filling the width; they don't worry about feeling the heighth with coils the important part is going across to block that path.
They are suppose to move Mick in a room at some time this morning. I will keep everyone posted as done prior. This will as the Dr. said a long road to recovery but hopefully with nothing but positive results.
Thanks for all the prayers.
