So far...

WWell it is safe to say that this has been the longest few days of my life to date. Although we have tried to keep as many of our close friends are family in the loop it hasn't been easy. Myself and Mom are in Halifax with him right not which means keeping in touch will be more of a challenge.

This morning as soon as we got here we met with Dr Fleetwood(neurosurgeon) and Dr Mahoney (radiologist). They told us they wanted to do an MRI and another angiogram to get as much info as possible. They are looking at how each artery supplies blood to the brain and if here has been any brain damage to avoid further damage or strokes. They both are very knowledgable and seem like a great team. Dr Mahoney would be the one to put the stint in the artery to close off the aneurysm to blood flow.

If all goes as planned, they will work on removing the aneurysm in a couple of weeks. Not sure if Dad will be home in-between or not - we will have more information tomorrow when they have discussed and analyzed the results of today's tests.

He is a little cloudy here today. Convinced we have committed him ...but we are staying with him and keep reassuring him that he is here to get better. Let's all hope he is regulated a bit by tonight - today has been a lot to handle for him.
