August 19th

The doctors performed an angiogram today and found that the aneurysm they coiled in May has ballooned again. This explains the loss of control to his left eye.  Pressure on the cranial nerve from the enlarged vessel is affecting his left eye. The good news is that here is no bleeding. While performing this procedure, doctors also placed a filter in the vein to prevent any clot from moving upwards to the lungs.  We will find out tomorrow morning what the plan is to fix this and I promise to keep all of you posted.

For any of you that would like to view a video dad did in 1978, Mr. Fred Ronstadt sent me a link for all to view.
Thank you Fred!

  2. Guardian Angels work in mysterious ways. Finding the blood clot and putting your Dad in the hospital that lead to the test that found the aneurysm bulging in his brain again... Thoughts and prayers remain with Joel and the family.

    Love,
