FlaSoxxJim Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey, gang. If anybody has some good vibes to send this way, we would be very thankful. I just found out a co-worker and close friend suffered and aneurysm this weekend and is in intensive care in Tallahassee right now. He's stable but it's still dicey. Thanks.

FlaSoxxJim Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Many thanks all, for prayers and well-wishes. My Buddy Brian is, by all accounts, really lucky to be alive. He had had a brutal headache for a couple of days but like a lot of us he ignored it for as long as he could. Finally he got to the ER and after a misdiagnosis or two, the doctors determined that he had already suffered an aneurysm rupture that had clotted over. Again, Brian is lucky - 1/3 of ruptured aneurysms result in death before the victim gets to the hospital, and another 1/3 die while they are at the hospital. Of the surviving 1/3, the scary online medical pages I'm browsing say that about 40% will suffer long-term neurological impairment. So, like I said, my buddy is still in dicey territory. Anyway, the local doctors thought he was stable and sent him up to the specialists in Tallahassee last night and he underwent several tests today. The tests showed that the aneurysm is a big one - 2 cm or so - and he'll undergo surgery tomorrow afternoon to get at it. For a while they toyed with the idea of going with a more novel/experimental procedure where they surgically insert metal coils to constrict blood flow, but this evening they decided tat they would opt for the more standard procedure to go in and clip it. That sounds fairly routine, but involves removing a bit of skull near the base of the neck so it's obviously still pretty involved. Anyway, i wanted to give an update and again thank everybody for continuing to keep a good person in their thoughts until he comes through this.

FlaSoxxJim Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Continued thanks for keeping my friend Brian in your thoughts. I just got an update and he came through the 3-hour surgery well yesterday. The doctors needed 7 clips to clamp off the aneurysm, which they described as “huge.” He’s going to be kept heavily sedated for all of today, only bringing him up to check vitals. So far, so good. Again, thanks for the good thoughts. This is a great person and a good friend and we need him around for a good long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
