WE TOOK ALL OF TIM'S NEW RECORDS WITH US TODAY SO OUR DR. WOULD BE UP TO SPEED ON EVERYTHING. HE WANTS TO RUN A FEW MORE TEST AND CONSULT WITH OTHER DR.'S ABOUT THE BEST THING TO DO. TIM'S ANEURYSM IS 4.5 AND 5.5 IS WHERE YOU HAVE TO GET SOMETHING DONE FOR SURE. WE WANT IT FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE BLOCKAGES WILL BE FIXED THEN ALSO. WE MAY HAVE TO GO TO NASHVILLE TO GET IT DONE THIS TIME. THE DR. SAID THE SECOND TIME AROUND WAS MORE DANGEROUS AND THE DOCTORS THERE WERE A LITTLE BETTER THAN AT HUNTSVILLE FOR THIS SORT OF THING.
WE GO BACK TO HUNTSVILLE TOMORROW FOR MORE TEST.
WE ALSO NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR TIM'S YOUNGEST SISTER VICKI. WHILE WE WERE GETTING RECORDS TO TAKE WITH US SHE WAS BROUGHT TO THE ER . WE DIDN'T KNOW THIS UNTIL TONIGHT. SHE HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS COPD AND HEART TROUBLE ARE JUST TWO OF THEM. THEY FLEW HER TO CHATTANOOGA BY HELICOPTER. SHE'S IN CCU ON LIFE SUPPORT NOW. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG SHE WENT WITHOUT OXYGEN SO THEY DON'T KNOW IF HER BRAIN WAS DAMAGED OR NOT. HER HEART DID STOP AT THE HOSPITAL OR IN THE AMBULANCE OR BOTH AND SHE TOOK HER OXYGEN OFF DURING THE NIGHT AT HOME. THEY ARE GOING TO LOWER HER BODY TEMPERATURE FOR AT LEAST 12 HOURS AND THEN BRING IT BACK UP. THIS SHOULD HELP THE BRAIN WHEN THERE'S OXYGEN LOSS. THEN THEY WILL DECIDE HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE BRAIN. THE ONLY SIGN OF FEELING SHE HAS IS THE TUBE DOWN HER THROAT.
HER KIDNEY'S AND LIVER WANT TO SHUT DOWN BUT ARE HANGING ON SO FAR. IF THEY SHUT DOWN THEN IT'S OVER EVEN IF THE BRAIN IS ALRIGHT.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR TIM. HE HAS TO BE ALRIGHT, HE'S THE AIR I BREATH, THE LIGHT IN MY SUN MY BEST FRIEND, WELL YOU GET THE IDEA.

Goodness, when it rains it pours. I pray Tim can get the best of care, as well as his sister. I am so sorry to hear about these new developments.There are so many new things doctors can do now for seriously ill people, and I pray these techniques work for Tim and his sister. I believe that God has his hand on these doctors and gives them the knowledge and research they have.God bless you all and love - Sarita
