Mick's Recap Carried over from Facebook

We thought within the last month or so had a stroke. He went in last week for to the doctor because he wouldn't do it (I forced the issue) that sent him for an MRI this past Monday. On Tuesday rec. a call from the Dr. stating he had an Extremely Large Anueryism. Sent to NeuroSurgeon which said they were very impressed with the size and the location...smack dab in middle of his brain attached to his brain stem. It's a little over in 1" wide/round. They want him to go to another hospital because they have never done one this size or placement. They want the best for him. They put him in hospital for ekg,and several anigigrams and a cat scan. Cat scan showed another smaller anueryism at the base of the brain stem. Dr. came in last night; the group here is thinking stinting might be the way to go; it will block off the blood flow to the anuerisym's but it will not help his motions, speech ,etc. He will still be in stroke like state. The reason the group here is thinking of this path instead of going in and removing the anuerisyms. If they do that his chance of death (they would have to do a bypass and stop his heart temp.) or he could be in a vegetative state. So, they are sending all tests, docs, etc. to KC , ST.LOUIS and Now Indianapolis to see what the surgeons suggest. I didn't state earlier but they have not ever seen or worked on an Annuerisym this size or this placement before and that is why they are unsure what is the best path and exactly which hospital will be the best place for him to go to. They are sending him home on steroids and anxiety medicine. The Dr. came in this morning and stated the same thing including that Mick needs to be placed on disability and get that process going because he has a long haul ahead of him. He did state he's hoping to hear back from them by Wed. The reason why they aren't rushing through this is because of how complicated this one is they have to do what is best. The positive side of this is ; the large anuerisym is not having a normal rate of blood flow. He said normally it would be like a roller coaster racing through but his goes through hangs out for a little bit plays around and then goes on it's marry way. The also positive is we still have time with Mick. So, as I have stated before just do a lot of praying. He is in good spirits until talking to someone and then he breaks down.
