Zale Lipshy in Dallas
Well everyone we are in Dallas at Zale Lipshy Hospital. Kimberly had her angiogram on Thursday the 15th, during the angiogram the doctors decided to proceed with embolization. It went very good. It took about 6 hours to complete everything. A couple of hours in recovery Kimberly could move her left arm and leg but they were weaker than before surgery. Kimberly was moved to ICU. After being in ICU for a few hours her side affects from surgery started getting worst. She lost the complete use of her left arm and part of her leg. She also lost all of the fine motor skills on her left side. The doctors decided to have an emergency cat scan to see if they put the glue in the wrong vein. After the cat scan they decided it must be the area around the avm swelling. But the doctors think she might need 3 weeks of rehab here at the hospital, but she does not think she will be there that long. Hopefully later today she will be moving to a regular room. We will continue to update the blog during and after the hospital stay.
