Hello!
It has been a long time since my last post as things have been pretty insane.
Most importantly, Dad is doing REALLY well and he is out of the Miller Centre now and is back at Mary Lynn's most of the time. He is staying with us occasionally too. He definitely felt a little apprehensive about leaving the Miller Centre, but I think he will be fine. He has regained most of his strength and is pretty well back to normal mentally :). It is too bad that he isn't receiving the same therapy now that he is out, but he is looking into a couple of options for groups. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great!
Medically he is stable. He hasn't had another angiogram CT in the last month because they are invasive and his last one may have caused the mini stroke. His doctor in Halifax has talked about putting in more coils, however, there is some issue with a possible strike with Capital Health, so they aren't in a position to take him right now. This is good because he has more time to think about it and make his decision. Whenever they are ready for him, he will have another angioCT to assess things and then he can decide. His doctor here isn't pushing any further medical treatment as he can live with the aneurysm as long as it doesn't rupture (very unlikely). He will probably suffer another bleed at some point, but maybe not. For now, things are good, and that's what we need to keep in our minds! If you would like to contact Dad, he is using his cell phone. You can e-mail me for the number. You can also call either me or Mary Lynn, and our numbers are both in the book!
