My sis Tiel...

My sister Tiel had a procedure done on Wednesday to treat an irregular blood vessel in the outer layer of her brain. This is related to her hereditary disease which her and Nick have. The disease is Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiactasia (HHT). This irregular blood vessel has been bothering her for a few years, hearing it swish through her ear.... At the diagnosis years ago, she was told it was safe for then. But it now has gotten larger and louder and needed correction. The procedure went really well, thank you God..... The physicians decided to use the catheter procedure which went through her femoral artery in her groin, and insert glue to stop the irregular flow. She was scheduled for two hours to perform the procedure and after 1 1/2, it was complete, so thankful! She came home this morning and is just very tired and with a moderate head ache, and needing a good long nap to recover from 'hospital sleep', (which is pretty much none....) Her Dr. said the side of her head will hurt for a while, due to the catheter and insertion of the substance, 'onyx,' but should be feeling better soon & able to go back to work on Mon. For the first time in years, she doesn’t hear the swishing in her ear, also not able to manually feel the pulsating on the outside of her head. These are great reports and she and we are so appreciative of your prayers, and care... I have told her about each of your e-mails and calls & given her your love ~ thank you for your prayers, we know they are powerful. God bless you!
