Brother Adam Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 From Father Brian on Facebook: [b] I know many of you have been asking and wondering about an update on my status, so here it is: Yesterday I finally got a call from Columbia Presbyterian on the results of my Cat Scan. It turns out that, as long as it doesn't get worse, I am, for the most part, inoperable. Therefore, they are seeking alternative options, and the viable option at this moment is a procedure that will be approved later on this Fall from the FDA. It is a transcatheter procedure, whereby they non-invasively repair the fail via a catheter. While I did not qualify for the one that has been around for a little while now, I do qualify for this one, since this one is designed for larger valves. [/b] In terms of risk, recovery, and all the rest, I am unsure, as I have to meet with valve specialists. However, based on the procedure that is currently happening, the greatest risk seems to be stroke which is multiplied with a procedure such as this. So, what this means to me is that I have more time to pray, more time to ask for your prayers and others, and it gives God a little time to decide whether He wants to heal me Thank you for all of your prayers already and your constant concern and, while the doctors continue to think it is in their hands, it turns out, it's been in God's hands the whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
