Hi Everyone,
My sister was admitted to Huntsville, Alamba Hospital on Monday because she couldn't breathe. They did an Angiogram and many other tests ( I don't know which tests they did yet, but I plan to find out) on Wednesday. They discovered both her Corotid Arteries are at least 80% blocked, her arteries in her legs are blocked (don't know the % yet, she has high blood pressure, high cholestorol and full blown diabetes. Thursday she was complaining that her stomach is hurting so they did a upper and lower GI. Today so far they have concluded she has CHF as she has uncontrollable coughing and can't breathe. They also thought it could be her valves.
I started thinking that she possibly has an Aortic Anerysm. I know Aortic Anersyms have been discussed quite a bit here. Could someone give me some more info so I can share it with my family in Alabama. I want to know exactly what I'm talking about, so that they could ask questions to the doctor.
One of my sisters that lives down there said the doctors want to operate sometime later today, but she doesn't know for sure on what. ( I will find out later). I would appreciate prayers that her outcome is good. Thank you.
