Just wanted to let everyone know of todays update. The girls and I went to see Mick before they left to go back to Pilot Grove. The Dr. wanted to show us films from before and after. Prev. films show how much the large anuerysm was filling again. He then showed us the progress from after the clips were put in. Looked good. Now the bad part.... Mick has had several mini strokes; they have to continue the path they are taking and watch because these can continue. He also stated that they are watching the "critical" vessels that regulate sleeping, talking, etc. They have taken him completely off of sedation to see how he does and if he wakes up. Today they also put in a feeding tube; at this time they are waiting for Xrays to say it is o.k. to start the feeding tube. They due this to make sure it is in the right place. Other than this information he moves areas of his body when being pinched. This is one of their ways to check functions. I will continue the updates if something changes. All I can say in ending is the Dr. said to make sure the family does not get to excited over any of this because he is "deep in the woods". He does not want anyone to have false hope. He said for him the positive moment will be when Mick responds to commands....
Fr. Jim the Priest at the hospital has been a very good listener during these times when when such words are said.
Thanks for the prayers..
