AN UPDATE ON RON...PLEASE DON'T STOP PRAYING 10/2/10 12:18 AM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know everyone has been waiting for an update on Ron, so just as before, I will write one letter and send it to everyone at once. Again I will do my best to explain, but this is a very complicated issue.Hard enough to understand myself,let alone explain it to others. First of all, Ron and I both have every confidence in the surgeon, Dr. Lavor. He was very thorough and brutally honest with us. But he is also very compassionate and sensitive to our feelings, unlike Dr. Berens. O.K. so first he took us into a special room that had all their video equiptment set up. He showed us a huge picture of Ron's annuerysm from the cat scan taken at he hospital. Huge, meaning that it was blown up and viewed on a screen on the wall. Anyway, he showed us all the blockage in the aorta as
well as the vessels going to the kidneys, liver and stomach. He literally walked us through each step of the surgery and how they would bipass all the blockage and remove the annurysm. He also showed us where the blood flow completely stopped just below the abdomen and why from that point on there is no blood flow at all. It just completely stops. He is getting no circulation at all to his pelvis and to his stumps. Thus, the urgency, not to speak of the fact that the aneurysm could burst and as I explained earlier, he would bleed out in minutes. BUT, do the risks outweigh the benefits of the surgery. Dr. Lavor feels that as it stands right now, Rons chances of survival if he had the surgery are equal to
his chances if we do nothing. Statistically speaking, the chances of Ron's
annuerysm bursting and him bleeding out are equal to the chances of him dying from the surgery. He, the surgeon does not want to take that risk until the option of surgery outweighs the the risk of waiting. I hope that makes sense. So, what Dr. Lavor wants to do is have the annuerysm scanned in four months. If it has grown at all, then there will be no choice.The scales will be tipped and he will have to do the surgery to save Ron's life. He said it will get to that point and he cannot gurantee that it won't burst prior to the four months scan.It is very large now and has grown quite a bit in the past year since his last scan. So, to think that it will stop growing is unrealistic. Yet another risk that we weren't aware of before is that Ron could become paralyzed from the surgery.With the annuerysm being so close to the spinal canal, and the fact that
they will have to do four seperate bypasses it could go too long without blood flow or with insufficient blood flow that it would paralyze him. As I said, he(Dr. Lavor) was brutally honest with us. Hetold us that if any one of Ron's organs dies from no blood flow during the surgery, other than one kidney(you can live with only one) it will kill Ron. Also the fact that he has a weak heart will play a hugh role in his recovery. So for now, we wait.It's ike waiting for his death sentence to be carried out. The only hope we have is prayer. God can heal Ron. God can protect him for four months from having the annuerysm burst. Please keep praying. Pray for a miracle for Ron. Pray for peace for both of us. It's horrible living every day knowing that there is something inside Ron that could blow up at any minute and kill him. I know how it scares me. I can't even imagine how it must feel to Ron. I know he's not arfaid of dying. He says he just doesn't want to go out ina bloody mess that would leave me traumatized forever. I think that is my biggest fear right now. I'm so paranoid constantly that he is going to go down in front of me and all I'll be able to do is watch. Please pray that never happens. So that is where we stand right now. I think I feel relief in some ways.Maybe we can get through October this year without any heartache. Maybe we can get through the holidays without trauma. What we want to do right now is try to get on with living.We have been in such a state of anxiety and dread since we got this horrible news. We want to rise above that and enjoy every day that God gives us together. I will be back online playing some games and Ron will be in the bed beside me giving is commentary and joking with some of my friends as he did bfore. Thank God I get paid for taking care of him, so we can be together constantly Thank you everyone for all your prayers. Thank you for your love and concern and for your support. Our love to all of you, Kathleen and Ron
