I'm a few days late with this post, but I wanted to update everyone on Allan's appts that he had on Monday. We spent the entire day in Fort Worth (thank you MM for watching the monkeys). Allan had a repeat CT scan of his head, which is standard protocol. I guess we will hear the results in April, provided nothing has changed, when we return to the neurologist. We had the cardiology appt after the CT. This cardiologist was the one who evaluated Allan after his stroke, at Plaza. He wants to close the PFO; the Dallas cardiologist did not. This one, Dr Ali, said closing it is one more layer layer of protection against another stroke. I think Allan wants to have it closed (as do I). We now have to wait for his insurance to approve the closure b/c it is considered "off label". It's only approved after the second stroke. Awesome!
We continue to enjoy great meals from our wonderful friends. Again, thank you so much. It has been so helpful to us. And thank you for all of the cards; Allan's grandmother sends him a card a week. Too cute! The Boll family has been incredible. They take Allan to his day neuro program wednesday-Friday. Thank you so very much!!
Will update more when we find out whether Allan's insurance will cover his PFO closure. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers
Thanks for the update! Still thinking good thoughts for y'all.Good luck with the insurance.
ReplyDeleteAllan keep up the hard work and you will be back in no time. Sorry LSU can't move the football, but oh well, they still had a great year. Once you get better you will have to perfect your Vlade Divac running hookshot because that thing is Euro ugly :) God Bless and be sure to get some rest too. Your SWA family is praying for you.
