Sep 2013

i had a cardiac arrest and was put on life support for 4 days and finally woke up. i beat the odds(80% die) and doing ok today. i later had my brain scoped because of a twisted knot blood vessels that i was born with. it`s been really tough on her and the rest of our family.

i`m not sure of what kind of procedure is required for her condition but i do know that medical procedures are so far advanced from just a few years ago. i had my brain scoped and i was awake and answering the doctors questions and he was answering mine. i hope that everything that can be done is and the outcome will be positive. hang in there and let us know how things are going...
