Yesterday, I go a little of a death scare. I found out that my Aunt Doreen, one of my mother's sisters, passed out while working at Wal-Mart.
Upon arrival at the hospital, they diagnosed her with a possible anurism, but said they could not confirm it because their facility was not capable of performing the test.
The hospital found blood pockets in her skull and a mild amount of swelling.
She was then airlifted to a larger hospital about two hours away. There the neurosurgeon said they hoped it was an anurism because they are easy to fix.
He performed a "dye" test, found the anurism, and put a "coil" in it. To insert the coil, they sent a line up her leg into her brain. She was in a drug induced paralitic state during the procedure.
The blood on her brain, the dr. thinks was due to another anurism bursting. He could not tell for sure. She is not in the clear yet. My aunt is looking better, however she is required to stay in the hospital for 14 days to be watched. The dr. said that brain injuries take the longest to heal and there is a two week critical window where more problems can occur.
I have not hear anything today, but I know that in a case like this, no news is good news.
Rule #1: God is in control.
Rule #2: Act like it.

I'm so happy to hear that she's doing ok. This dufoid cannot believe that she only just realized you have a blog! Very cool. Now to read the other posts!
I got in trouble because I didn't post an update. She is doing very well. She lost her short term memory for a while, but got it back and is doing great. She is back to her old self again working and being as active as she always was.
