Hi kittylester, thank you so much for your post. Her general health is pretty good and at least she has no other underlying condition which is something! I'm so sorry about your son. My uncle suffered an aneurysm many years ago which was repaired, and he was eventually ok, but like your son, it was a nasty, frightening episode. I think we are in for a long haul and can only take things day by day.

Hi jaberwok. What a shock for you all. How is her physical recovery? She will be awfully tired for a long time, I think, even if there are no other physical problems.

Our eldest son had a dissecting aneurysm 15 (ish) years ago. He was 35 and had just got married. He was living in Japan and was covered by his work health insurance. He had phe mental care in Japan including 3 sessions of physio per day so stayed in hospital for nearly 4 months. He still gets really tired.

Last week completely it of the blue our daughter suffered from an AVM! For about three days things looked very bleak. then she very slowly improved until yesterday when she was allowed out of hospital. I have spoken to her this morning and we seems okish, though very tired and tearful. Luckily she has three teenage children, a wonderful devoted partner and a circle of good friends so care isn't a problem. Has anyone on here had any experience of this traumatic event? If so, perhaps you can give me some idea of her long term prognosis ? She may have another AVM in her spine and the other side of her head! A scan in 5 weeks should tell us of any other damage. To say that we are worried is an understatement, as I'm sure anyone reading this will understand.
