2 Steps forward & 3 Steps back....

Mick had his surgery today. Was suppose to have a stent put in that crossed the large annurysm and the small annurysm. DIDN'T HAPPEN... Nope it wasn't the Nutty Butty Bars.... After a little over 3.5 hrs. of surgery Dr. came out and showed us what he did but was dissappointed. They could not do the stent. The pocket that was left open from the large annurysm (the bottom section that wasn't coiled before) had filled with blood and going at a fast rate this time. The blood flow is going at a pace where the small annurysm is now grown more than before..... He said every time they tried to stent the blood flow would pull the stent out. They had to go in and RE-COIL the large annurysm. They did not pull the coil from before out; they added to it to make the annurysm have no pocket. He said we are starting back to square one and that he was sorry or something to that fact. At that time he said he would keep Mick for a couple of days. However when recovery called and said Mick was in NICU we passed the Dr. headed to check on Mick and he said Mick would be here until Thurs. or Friday. Unsure of what the difference but it's one more question I have for him when he comes around for his rounds in the morning. Mick has been wheezing, both feet are now swollen and the assumption is the right one was injured on his last fall (Tuesday) so, I do not know what the thinking is, maybe it's for precaution because of the increase of the little annurysm. As soon as I know AND I have all the facts straight I will let everyone know.
