Dad is gone in for the procedure. They are putting stent in to keep the blood vessel open that is providing blood to all parts of the brain. They are coiling the middle of the aneurysm and blocking the vessel that is feeding it. The reason they can do this is because the other artery is proving blood across the brain. Will be several hours before he is out. Will update as we hear more. It sounds pretty promising. They do this particular procedure often.
He will be coming home in a few days back to hospital and then receiving rehab. Back here in about 6 weeks to remove aneurysm hopefully.
Thanks for keeping us up to date, Nicole. Your dad is fortunate to have such excellent care, and it will be a great comfort to him to have you there with him through all of this.
