Another good day, many tests later and with one procedure the aneurysm is fixed and cutoff from the artery, eventually to dry up.
Regarding the clot in the shoulder, it was expected as the major vien from her left arm was severed purposely and not reattached and the clot has formed there, so it will not be a problem, as we are told. Doctors very pleased with her recovery.
Susan feeling much better, has good energy, but no stamina, tires easily.
I took an 18″ Christmas tree into her room to day with a huge string of lights that covers the tree and all the panel behind her. It raised her spirits immensely.
Lois ( her mom) and I are planning Christmas dinner for the hospital.
A very Merry Christmas to all and thank you for your love & support.
