Latest Update on My Hubby

All I have to say is, what a "Roller Coaster" ride of emotions this has been for all of us! Here is the latest~ Doctors ruled out Stroke & Heart Attack, but I am completely CONFUSED & BAFFLED (not to mention NOT HAPPY) by what these doctors, nurses & neurologists have told us! The neurologist said that the MRI shows that my hubby has a "Brain Aneurysm".:(  Then late lastnight, they gave him one more test & the "Nurse" came in & said "Guess what, he doesn't have an aneurysm"??!!!!!!! FIRST of all, why aren't the Doctors telling me this, isn't this their job to do so??? At this point, I was VERY ANGRY!!! I said that the neurologist had DREW a Picture of what it looked like, told us what size it was & how the specialist were going to fix it!!!!! Now, the nurse doesn't say much after this!!! So WHAT IS THE ANSWER PEOPLE??? Does he have one, or does he NOT??? It's just really frustrating because you trust them to tell you the "Facts" & when they have conflicting stories, it's NOT good! Needless to say, I told them & I ALSO talked to that neurologist & let her know that I was NOT happy, I want another opinion to get to the bottom of this!!!! My poor hubby is very scared right now, as well as myself:(  I just CANNOT imagine another episode like he experienced happening again! My hubby did come home lastnight & we will start all over again on Monday to find out what caused this to happen! I want to THANK ALL OF YOU for your SWEET emails, facebook messages, comments, thoughts, prayers, etc..... I have been reading them all, I just haven't had the energy to respond to every single one of them. All of this is just "Emotionally Draining":( I'm done crying, I'm more upset because now it's another waiting game & PLEASE pray that we get some "CORRECT" answers soon! I will NOT settle for anything less! This Man is "My Life" & I just CANNOT imagine my world without him in it! So again, Please continue to pray for us, I TRULY TRULY APPRECIATE IT my Sweet Friends~ Thank you.

  4. Emma-
    I am praying that God dispels the confusion and that you get some answers in a hurry. Is it possible God answered prayer and healed that aneurysm? I pray that is the case.

    I have dealt with multiple doctors and been hospitalized multiple times over the last 9 years of living with MS and spinal cord damage and all I can tell you is that you have to be your own advocate-question, question, question and I don't care how trustworthy your medical team is, you must trust your own instincts and don't worry about offending them with your questions.

    Blessings on your husband and household!

  5. I agree about being an advocate and don't be afraid to speak out. I'm so sorry about this scary time, and praying for clarity and answers from the doctors once and for all.

    God bless!

  7. Unfortunately it seems the greater the technology the greater the list of things to interpret and misinterpret.. I pray that you get to the bottom of a definite diagnosis. It is always best to be proactive in you own health care. Best wishes.

  8. Oh Emma, I can only imagine how upset and PO'ed you and your hubby must be. I would be too. I hope they give you a right answer soon. And it is something that can be cleared up fairly easy. My thoughts are with you both.

  10. my brother in law had an aneurysm this summer but it was in an artery below the heart. The artery was beginning to split. He ended up in a coma for awhile but Praise God he is fine now. It hit him fast and hard. It doesn't make sense what they are saying to you so good for you for getting a 2nd opinion!!

  15. We will continue to pray. Good for you for demanding more answers. Keep asking, keep prodding, keep getting more opinions. Consider taking someone else with you to the next appt. just to be able to relay all of the info. back to you later. It's hard to take it all in and process it without bits and pieces missing. Hang in there, hug your boys and put your arms around hubby!

  18. Hi Again Emma.... Like I said in yesterday's comments I've been through this.... Although my hubby did end up having a stroke at 36yrs. old... they only check the basics out and when it doesn't make much sense they kind of take forever coming out with the real problem... after my hubby had been tested for all the reg. stuff associated with his numbness and such I MADE them test him for EVERYTHING under the sun!!! They drew soooo much blood from him after I complained we finally found out he had Protein S Deficiency! And that is what caused his problems.... Ask them to test his blood for that and also Protein C Deficiency.... it's a horrible experience to go through and I know ALL to well.... My husband is my life as well and now he is disabled and I care for him and our 3 children.... if you can get his blood tested for everything.... you will find the problem! I'm praying for your family.... I don't want to see what happen to me and my family happen to you! Keep a close watch on your man this weekend... Prayers my friend!

  19. Oh Emma I am so sorry you and your family have to go thru this. It just is torture not knowing. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. Advocate and don't take no for an answer....just keep pushing until you get what you need. Just a thought but has he been tested for Lyme Disease?
    Prayers for you and your family.

  24. Emma, we are all praying for you! I really can understand your frustration. Go with what your gut is telling you. And you are right NO nurse should be coming in and telling you that he does not have a brain aneurysm. That is the Dr. responsibility.

  25. Emma plz also have your husband check for a virus that could have be hibernating inside of him for a very long time. I work with someone that this same thing happened to. After all the test and going to the Mayo Clinic it was discovered that it was that...Have hope there will be an end you just need to stay strong and question everything

  29. You go girl! You absolutely have to advocate for yourself and your family members! Don't settle for anything else other than perfection.

    My daughter had a near fatal accident and I spent EVERY SECOND there with her because doctors and nurses are human and make errors. BIG ones! Within the first couple of days, I kept telling them that my daughter wasn't right and she wasn't talking or trying to and was making a weird face. Well, I was right! She started seizing and posturing and went WAY backwards! From that point on, I was quite the B...I mean advocate! Don't be scared to tell them how it is!

    I'm proud of you! So many just take their word for it.

    God bless you, your hubby and family. Answers will come soon.

  33. Emma I hope you get some answers soon! From my story I wouldn't give up until I get the answer. When I was pregnant with my little girl I had pain that I felt like I was dying and the Dr's just told me it was acid reflux,they didn't know what was wrong with me. I had to go to 5 Drs. to find out that I almost died because my gallbladder stopped working! Now I am better, Don't give up until you find the right answers. Sending Prayers to your family:)

  34. Oh Emma, how scary and frustrating. I'm glad you let them know how you felt. Sometimes I think they don't really consider how frightened and upset people are.

  37. Im glad Aaron is home and you could care for him from sweet home, second opinions are always the best way to go when your not clear of the diagnosis...

    I work in the medical field, and I dont understand why the nurse has to be the one to tell you, the so call good news if she will not have the answer to all the questions you now have.. that a doctors job, hope that this other Neurologist will be able to give you more answers..

    Let's pray that there well not be another episode of the symptoms he had.. that this just was a one time thing..

  46. Emma,
    So sorry to hear what you are going through. It is so terrifying when you are relying on the docs for info. and they contradict themselves. Don't let anyone do anything without the 2nd opinion! I'm glad to hear you're sticking up for your hubby and his medical care. You are your best advocate!
    Will keep you in my prayers.

  47. Emma, God Bless you and your family. I hope and pray that you get some answers soon because there is nothing worse than the unknown. I have a friend who is going through the same thing. Was told he had a brain aneurysm and now they think he may has MS but they are still not sure. Meanwhile he goes to test after test. Continue to be persistent and get the answers you deserve.

  54. Emma you go for a 2nd, 3rd, even 4th opinion if you have to. As a former R.N. I would NEVER take it upon myself to relay this info to a patient.

  61. Oh Emma, I am so sorry you and your family are going through this.
    I went through something very similar about a year ago.
    My husband had sudden numbness in one side and we took him to the ER and at first they couldn't diagnose it either. They ruled out a stroke or heart attack and sent him home. He only got worse and by the next day he was almost completely paralyzed and I had to call an ambulance to take him to the hospital because he couldn't walk and I couldn't get him in the car.
    I was so scared and had no clue what was going on.
    We were fortunant the second time, the Doctor recognized some of hubby's symptoms and ordered a spinal tap as he suspected Guillian Barre Syndrome. He was right the test confirmed it. Don't know if you have ever heard of Guillian Barre, but it's fairly rare and many Doctors never even see it in their careers. My husbands Doctor said he was only the second case he had ever seen in his 30+ year career. The symptoms of it mimick a stroke for sure and because my husband has diabetes it made diagnosis even harder because the first Dr. thought he had Diabetic Neuropathy.
    Here is a link from the Mayo clinic with more info on it:
    http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/guillain-barre-syndrome/DS00413
    I don't want to scare you, but if he does have this...it's imperative that he gets to a hospital right away. My husband was only hours away from being intubated (put on a breathing tube), because the first Dr. missed the symptoms and he could have stopped breathing.
    This disease basically paralyzes every muscle/nerve in your body and even though there is a high rate of survival, it needs to be treated right away to avoid long term after effects and healing outcome.
    I pray that he does not have this...like I said I don't want to scare you, just want you to be aware. My husband and I were blessed that God brought him through it and even though it took him over 6 months to recover, he has very little residual effects left from the disease and was able to go back to work.
    I will be praying for you all Emma!

  64. Emma, I am so sorry. I know what your going though. Not knowing is such a horrible feeling.

I will continue to pray for answers for you. The power of prayer is powerful. Keep us posted when you can. Angie P.S. I will sport your badge/button next week at the Cricut Stampede. :)

  65. Good for you Emma, sometimes those doctors and nurses don't think of how they come about and say things then chance it and expect you to deal with it. Stand your ground.
    My husband one time had numbness in his arm and a bad headache, they said it was a stroke or heart attack gave him pills, but he didn't take them and went and seen a specialist. Good thing he didn't as it was stress and he didn't have a stroke or heart attack the medication they gave him would of killed him the specialist said. Needless to say we refuse that doctor here now when any of us go in.
    Prayer for you all that they find the problem and it is something simple that can be taken care of right away. Keep your chin up and stay strong we are all here behind you praying for you husband.

  91. Emma, I'm so sorry to hear what's happening with your Hubby and can totally relate. As my Hubby suffered 4 strokes 1 week after our marriage and I was devastated. Not only by how much memory he had lost (it was all mental no physical damage) but of the Doctors and their lack of figuring out the cause. After many days/weeks of tests the diagnose was that he had a whole in his heart from birth, and though he had lead a healthy life for 40 years he had these strokes due to it. It was a long 6 months of tests and surgeries and meds. But he fully recovered, I sat with him day after day in the hospital going through Kindergarten to 5th grade workbooks to help him reconnect to the information that was locked up in his brain. They said if he didn't unlock the info in 3 months he'd lose it all. Now we will be married 8 years this coming May and he's happy and healthy.

    My heart goes out to you and your family for I know how hard and scary this is. Be strong, have faith and most important take care of yourself, you are his strength now.

    I send you much love and healing light and pray you will get an answer soon so he can recover and move forward with his life.

    Blessed be Emma!

  92. Emma, you keep standing your ground until you get the answers you need. Conflicting reports are not the answer. I will continue to pray every day for your hubby to get well soon. Hope the boys are hanging in there too.

  94. OMG Emma how scary for you and your family! You should seek as many opinions as you need to get the right answers and find a doctor that you can be comfortable with. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Big hugs to you all.

  95. My Dear Emma, You keep ASKING QUESTIONS until you get the RIGHT answers no matter how many doc's you have to pursue.I am an R.N. and was diagnosed with a brain tumor not 1x but twice.The last one being almost 3yrs ago. Believe me you HAVE to believe in your doctor and if you don't keep searching. I was lucky being in the health care field starting from being a nurse's aide to an R.N. did help but I felt very confident and still feel very confident and close to my neurosurgeon. This is his brain it just dosen't go away so you cry,shout,swear,screem do whatever you have to to show the doctors you want answers the RIGHT ANSWERS. Google the symptoms on line if you have to;go to another hospital;go to another state; but you both have to feel comfortable w/the doctor. Don't take any crap Emma. I know what you and hubby are going through. It is a scary scary thing dealing with the brain. But you are a loving and smart woman Emma you both love each other and together you will do what you have to. My husband and children were insrumental in my decisions and surgeries.The most important is PRAYERS Emma. Pray for strength and guidence and HE will help you. If I can help you in any way please feel free to email me. I love your site and what you do for us crafters-let us help you. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. Love Gayle. gayle-rn@sbcglobal.net

  98. Emma,

    So I was going to post the other day when I read your first post about the symptoms your husband was having. About nine years ago my husband was sitting up at the table to eat and he started to get a headache and then one side of his face down to his arm started going numb. It was very scary as he was a very young and healthy 26 year old. He went to the doctor and they started doing tests. They thought they found a bulge in his brain. Their first diagnosis was an aneurysm. They wanted to be sure, as that is a very scary diagnosis. As the tests continued it was harder and harder to see anything. Finally, days later, they did a dye test to make sure they were seeing the right thing. They found nothing. They believe whatever it was, it went away. We believe it was a miracle. I don't know what his body reacted too, but it was very real and very scary. For ten years this has been in the back of our minds, will it ever happen again? What exactly did happen? I wish I could tell you that we found all our answers, but we didn't. However, even with those nagging questions in the back of my mind, I have felt much peace. I know that what was and is suppose to happen, did. We have been very blessed since, and are grateful everyday for our time together. I believe everything we go through can teach us so much, and maybe we were just taking life for granted. We don't do that so much. We are keeping you in our prayers, and I know things will work out for the best for you and your family. Just know I've been there--at least for a little bit.

  104. Hang in there Emma-I've been through something very similiar and it is NOT fun and VERY frustrating. Neurologists have God complexes and some nurses are cold and unsympathetic. I have your family in my prayers. Stick to your gut instincts with every decision and ASK everything you need to to understand what's happening and to help your DH get through. I pray this will be a brief experience and you will soon be on to happier days. Best wishes-a crafty friend Cathie

  105. I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this Emma. I hope your hubby feels better and that the doctors figure out what happened. All those conditions mentioned to you is enough to scare you but to be told afterwards that it was a mistake cannot be easy.
    Do your research. Try to narrow it down to what may have the same symptoms as your hubby and bring it to the doctors and ask them if it might be that. Yes they are doctors but sometimes as patients we know our bodies (or that of our loved ones) a little bit better than them. I always think it's best to figure out what it may be. Don't start self diagnosing by all means!
    I suffer from extreme migraines. From time to time my speech can get slurred. i thought at some point it was a stroke but it was just my migraines causing it. I'm no doctor here but I was able to figure this out myself and when I presented the possibility to my doctor he agreed.
    You and your hubby are in my thoughts. Keep us posted and I am positive the next time we hear from you it will be positive news.

    Take care,
    Emma xoxo

  113. I am so sorry about all the trouble with the docs as if you weren't going through enough already!I completely understand what you are going through we got in a horrible accident and the first doctor came and said that my hubby broke the first and thrid vertabrae in his back and he would need emergancy surgery and probably would not be able to walk so they prepped him for surgery and just as they were about to take him to cut him up the nurse came and said that the second x ray they took did not show any fractures!!!! Seriously shouldn't they make sure before they cut someone open!

    Sometimes instead of helping they create more stress, I want you to know that we are all here for you and your family and I am thinking and praying for you all everyday!!

    Keep strong, I know everything is going to turn out ok, be hopeful!

  114. Emma, that is very scary, when I was 8 months pregnant with my son my husband had blood sugar over 1000, luckily he went to the ER when he did, we had no idea he was diabetic, or why he wasnt feeling well. with sugar over 1000 he should have been in a coma! he was in ICU after being admitted from the ER (I went to work, after all we had a baby on the way and needed $$ still) after work I went to see him in ICU and the volunteer was making comments... she was not a nurse or anything she just keeps watch on the door, only so many people are aloud to go in ICU, she asked me who i was seeing and she made a face and said oh im so sorry.. I had no idea what was going on! I just stated balling... it was so scary just waiting to see him. once he was put in a normal room we had a Dr consult with a specialist, he came in the room and stated yelling at us, telling my husband he was going to die and never see our son! I was outraged! I couldn't believe this "professional" would say that! I really should have reported him, I am sure I could have gotten him in a TON of trouble, I was working for the Head of the hospital board at the time.

    sorry for going of on my rant, but I truly can understand what you are going threw. You and your family are in our prayers, keep on top of these doctors, you pay them they work for YOU!
