I am just sitting here in ICU with Christopher and I guess I should document all that has gone on. I think my last post went to Saturday. Well Saturday Christopher started to have some weird pains that the doctors were not comfortable with. He was going to come home on Saturday night but the y decided to keep him over night to just watch him. Well Sunday morning he called me at the doctors decided to to a cerebral angiogram. They did the angiogram yesterday and what they found out was not expected!!! His left vertebral artery was totally block off from the dissection (tear) and his right was severely blocked off. They were able to put 2 stints in his right side and he know has double the blood flow to his brain. As for the left side it will just take time to heal on its own. What a blessing that they did the angiogram. I am so grateful that they did not sent him home on Saturday night. He had a huge risk of having a major stroke. The docs say that he can live just great with one working artery. Today he will be out of ICU and back to a normal room. Maybe tomorrow he will be able to come home. I am a little okay maybe a lot nervous to go home. I should be able to resume normal activity. It may take awhile but he will be okay.
