My 23 year old son is battleing with a ruptured Basilar artery aneurysm. Today is day 15 post sutgery and he has been having difficulty with his intracranial pressures and now his lungs are struggeling. He has yet to be evaulated for his neurological deficits due to complications. he is posturing and we are told this is not a good sign.

Noel,

Prayers to you all...and that you have someone beside you for your support during this time...

I support Michelle's questions to you...you note surgery...was it clip or coil? If coil, which arteries were used for access? Was the size of the aneurysm, the rupture (subarachnoid hemorrhage) volume explained to you?

I have no knowledge/memory of lung condition being addressed by others; however, our lungs can react to conditions in our system...

Was your son in coma from the rupture and transporting to emergency?

Please ask the neuros every question imaginable... remember to take paper/pen to help you remember... Prayers and hugs to you

Prayers going up for you and your son!

Question, Shelly: How dangerous is having the shunt? Better than not?
