A new game plan.
Posted 7 minutes ago
Our plastic surgeon came in late this afternoon and said they wanted to do an angiogram before trying the other options. It is scheduled for in the morning but they didn't have a specific time. If they can locate the bleeders they can block them preventing a more invasive surgery.
An angiogram is similar to a heart cath. They run a tube through an artery in his leg and work it up to his face where a dye is released. If a bleeder is found a foam substance can be released to seal the vein.
If this is succesful we may be released much earlier than we were previously told. But, we may still be here through Thanksgiving.
As always, your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated!!
