My mom had the vascular tests and doctor visit yesterday. They found that her left carotid artery was 100% blocked and the right was 80% blocked. Doctor said he could do nothing for the left one, but, if her heart could stand it, he might be able to do surgery to clean the right artery out or place a stent in it.
So, now we wait till the doctor can consult with her cardiologist and then see where it leads us. She is wondering now why doctors – even cardiologists – did not listen to her arteries sooner.
Please continue to pray for mom – we need the prayers now more than ever.
