Update on Grandmother

Grandmother went to see her vascular surgeon in Dallas yesterday. The original thought was that after removing plaque 6 weeks ago, increased blood flow allowed something else to break loose. Many tests were run, but it turned out that neither a stroke, nor a TIA were the culprits for Fridays events. What?? So, according to her doctor it is a neurological issue. He sent her to the neurologist's office, but after more extensive tests nothing was found. So basically Baylor has determined that they can't figure out why this happened! Very discouraging.

Grandmother still isn't feeling 100%, and is of course fearful that what caused this before might cause it again. I'm not really sure what the plan is now. Please pray for guidance for my mom and her sisters as they determine what to do, and clarity for the doctors in discovering what is the problem. They are at least all in agreement that there is something wrong - this didn't just happen because of nothing. I'll keep you posted when we have more news. Thanks so much for the prayers!
