Larry,

All I can give are my prayers for her healing...

There are a number of things that can occur from any surgery or interventional treatment...

Please keep us updated; and, accept my apologies if you have written earlier and I have missed it.

Hi Larry...

It takes time...this is a long journey...sometimes it is good that we don't know what is going on...it will come...be sure to communicate your questions to her Neurosurgeons...

~And ~

Know that I am keeping you both in our prayers...!

Hugs Colleen

Larry,

My memory took years to recover to the point that still stumbles...Larry I could not say my name! I had a lot of what I call visual flash memories (VFM)s....I could see a face or a place and have no memory of conversations...

When I was first awake after treatment... I could not even say my name...let alone much else.. Recovery time varies a lot for all of us based on the location of rupture, the level of the subarachnoid hemorrhage and whatever else.

Please hold her hand give her hugs (around the IVS, etc) so she will sense you are there beside her.

Larry, your sister is in my prayers...for recovery of pneurmonia and her aneurysm healing...
