Abdominal aortic aneurism

Posted by davidrauric @davidrauric, 6 days ago

About 18 months ago I had a 7.5 aneurysm operated on abdominal aortic.
There was a problem during the procedure the stent broke subsequently I lost blood and oxygen to the spine .
There was no aftercare therefore I now suffer with mobility problems quite severe the condition I suffer with is called Ichea and is not treatable.

My son-in-law(just turned 51 and has always been in EXCELLENT health) is in open heart surgery at Stanford, CA, even as I write. Surgery started two hours ago(9is am) and supposed to last till 4 pm(PST). Repairing an aneurysm(4.96cm) in the root of the aorta. He has a bicuspid valve, apparently healthy. But no guarantees that it can be damaged during the root surgery.

Please pray for him!🙏🏾 He has a young family. My daughter at the age of 21 (his wife) lost her father (54) to dissection of the aorta. My heart aches for them!
