Not Another Procedure

The procedure that had been scheduled for Aaron this morning has been canceled. The results of his CAT scan yesterday gave the doctors a more detailed view of his arterial system and they decided that the surgery was an unnecessary risk. He is now starting a medication-based treatment plan.

This does mean that Aaron will be in the hospital a few days longer. Then he will need to stay in the Dallas area for at least a week after he is released, until a follow-up appointment.

Today Aaron is feeling stronger. The physical therapists walked him all the way down the hall this morning and promised they would be back later for more.

"The physical therapists walked him all the way down the hall this morning and promised they would be back later for more."

In a slightly snarkier parallel universe than ours, the PT folks probably left Aaron at the end of the hall and told him that he'd have to make his own way back if he wanted to have lunch....
Feeling stronger is good news.

Prayers and best wishes continue.

"...and promised they would be back later for more."

He's just lucky Denise isn't his therapist. She'd have him running laps by now. ::grin::

(Just kidding!)

I'm glad they have some other options, right now. Great news!
