Sunday evening (4/11), mom complained that she couldn't see. She was taken to Luther hospital for concerns of a stroke. Once there, they did a brain scan and found an aneurysm that had ruptured. She was stabilized and air lifted to Mayo Hospital late Sunday night. Once at Mayo, she underwent an emergency surgery to drain the blood accumulating in her brain and relieve the pressure. Once stabilized from this procedure they were able to insert a coil into the anyrusm to seal it off and disrupt the blood flow. She tolerated this procedure well and is in stable condition. The coming days, weeks, and months all present their challenges and we appreciate the love and support from everyone!
