It is 1:45 am here at the Brigham. Greg is having a post op angiogram. We just met with Dr. Du, who is the most amazing person, capable and compassionate. I am sooooooo pleased to let everyone know that tonight's surgery was a success with no complications. Your prayers, positive thoughts and support has paid off. There was in fact another aneurysm and we are now in the clear. Thank you God!!!!!
We are not out of the woods yet and still have a long road ahead until the vasospasms end. We will be in recovery mode for several days and Greg will continue on the ventilator. We anticipate a long rehab but will attack that the way we have the past two weeks.
We now, for the first time in two weeks, have a glimmer of optimism!!
My energy level is high right now and I will be with Greg for the balance of the night.
I will tell you that Jill, the love of his life, Donna, Natalie, Sean, Jehan, Jason, Ann, John, and Adam stuck it out here tonight together. We fought our fears with silent prayer, tears, and laughter... just the way Greg would have. I have said it before, he is my best friend, my hero and my inspiration.
Good night, or good morning, to everyone following with us on this journey through emails, texts, and our blog. I know deep in my heart the outcome tonight would have been different without the love and caring of the incredible medical team, his family, and the scores of friends around the country.
With my heartfelt thanks,
Mike

ReplyDeleteYou all are an inspiration - a shining example of the power of positive thoughts and prayers. We will continue to keep Greg and the entire family in our thoughts. So glad to get some good news today!
ReplyDeleteTo you Michael and your entire family ... There have been very few moments in the past few days, since I heard the news of Greg, which I have not thought of your pain and in passing on the news to others it has been difficult to imagine how you have found your way through this. Your patience and faith is astounding and as you move ahead please know we are indeed praying very hard for Greg. We will continue to watch for your news and await your call if you need anything at all.
