Well the new year started out very bad. On the 31st of December as my wife was on her way to work she came down with a sudden and very severe headache. She tried to ride it for a while at work but the pain became so intense that she ended up going to the ER. A CT scan revealed that she had blood on the left side of her brain, and the following morning a MRI and a high contrast CT scan both showed a small aneurysm. Her neurosurgeon said that it had bled out for few seconds and it had clotted.
Due to the type and area that the aneurysm and the location she had to under go surgery the following day. The surgery went well, but after seven days in ICU she had to under go a second surgery for a permanent shunt to drain excess spinal fluid that the ventricles couldn't process. After a couple of weeks in the hospital She is home and is looking to make a full recovery. We owe much thanks to the great team of neurosurgeons at Fremont Rideout.
