Mommy wears headbands to hide her scar from surgery... So I like to wear them too!
October 12, 2010 - A Changing Day In Our Lives
I had 3 aneursyms burst on this Tuesday night. I was rushed to the emergency room by EMS not knowing what was wrong. I had severe neck pains and a horrible headache. So many pains, dizziness, and confusion were all happening at the same time and it became sickening. At the hospital they sedated me with nasuea medicine and ran Cat Scans. The Drs. returned saying they did not know what was the cause so the released me. I spent the next two days in bed in the worst pain ever. Once I became sick again throwing up my MD advised me to return to the hospital. They performed a spinal tap due to the pain in my neck and found extremely high pressure and blood in the spine. The neurosurgeon said it was an aneursyms and it was missed on the previous Cat Scan. He said it was a miracle I was alive and made it through the past few days. He performed an emergency crainiotomy on me the following morning to clamp the aneursyms. This surgery should have been 4 hours but it took 10. The surgeon who is known for his work throughout the nation and the best for this procedure said it was the hardest he had ever performed. He as a non believer also said that it was a procedure that made him believe in a higher power. It was truly the work of GOD that I survived not only the burst but the surgery and then through recovery. I am blessed to say that I will make a full recovery.
The Drs. believe that the aneursyms are cured and are the result from a car wreck I was in back in college. This was a surprise to hear but it also explains a lot. I had a lot of questions about some memory loss I was experiencing right after the wreck. The Drs. said the aneursyms would be the cause of some of the changes I experienced at that time.
Thank you to all that supported and prayed for me during this time. It means so much to me. I am happy to be back home with my family and we have a lot to be blessed for this Christmas!
