Dian Schipper

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

On April 24th our Mom (Dian) suffered a ruptured aneurysm in her brain.  She underwent 5 hours of surgery to repair the aneurysm. She is currently in the Neuro ICU at the University of Iowa Hospital and will be for at least a week.  She is in critical condition.  She is awake, able to speak clearly and has full movement. She also has quite a bit of pain in her head and neck.   At this time we are asking for no visitors as we are trying to keep her from being over stimulated and to trying to help prevent infections.  We will do our best to post updates as they are available.  


Thank you all for your prayers & please keep them coming,


Melissa & Brett
