Praying for you all.

After I posted yesterday, things have changed. The doctors have consulted and have decided to try repairing this through a 2nd angiogram. This would entail putting a small clamp or coil inside the vein where the aneurysm is to seal it off. If this works, no invasive surgery. If this fails, then daddy's surgery has been moved back to tomorrow.

I hope this works so there's no surgery needed.

God will give you the strength you need.

That is optimistic. Praying the 2nd angiogram will be succesful.

We're still waiting for them to get started. They just said it would be in the afternoon. They did not give a time. I see why.

They did the 2nd angiogram last night. Now, they are saying that they cannot find an aneurysm and no reason for the bleed on the brain that he had. That could mean that his body is correcting this on its own. So, his actual surgery, for the time being, has been scrubbed.

That's good new the surgery of your dad has been scrubbed.
How it goes now?
Does your dad has to be in the hospital?

I don't know how long he is going to have to stay. Right now, he has a lot of fluid on his lungs and they are going to take a sample and check for pneumonia. If it is just normal body fluids, then they will remove the ventilator. If he has pnewmonia, they will give him some heavy duty antibiotics and leave the vent in to aid with breathing and drainage.

Your dad still is very vulnerable I think.
I hope it's not pneumonia and the antibiotics do their work.

They are planning on taking out the vent tube today. Daddy doesn't have pneumonia--he has a staph infection. So, when we get that taken care of, we will be out of here as the vessel that was bleeding in his brain has seemed to seal itself off. God is to be praised.

Praise God is right!!!! That is awesome!

Good news (well not the staph infection part). Praying for a swift recovery.

They did get daddy off the vent! Praise God! When I left the hospital, they had him out of bed and sitting up in a chair. He's still got a lot of junk in his lungs from the staph infection, but he is coughing a lot of it out now.

That's great news, Alldat. Let your dad now that we're all really pleased for him, that it has gone well. We will carry on praying too.

Praise God for how it all went with your dad.
It's good God was so mercyful to save his life after the aneurysm.
Now I hope your dad can go home soon.

No updates over your dad.
I hope it means your dad is doing much better or maybe it at home now.

My dad is still in the hospital. They are still treating the staph infection. They are keeping him and planning on doing a third angiogram sometime this week. So, right now, he is just hanging out and getting grumpy.

I don't blame him, hospitals are terrible places to be, especially when your sick.

They have scheduled the 3rd angiogram for today. I think it has something to do with the fact that he is having more headaches. Let's hope that all looks good so he can go home.

Yes, let's hope it's good.
Let us know when you know something about the 3rd angiogram.
Your dad is in the hospital for a long time.
