My brother

[siamcat]

My brother just found out he as a blockage in the artery in his neck. They will do the procedure next Tuesday to clear it.

If you could please add him to your prayer or send good wishes his way I would appreciate it. He's my younger brother and he has two young children. I know it's probably a routine procedure, but I'm worried about him and his family.

Positive thinking goes a long way. Are they putting in a stent?

Not sure. My mom just said they'll unblock it.

I will include him on my prayer chains list. My wife and I keep a journal of all requests and you would be surprised at how many get answered positively.

i would guess a 'stent recovery'....they run a stent up there, grab aholt of the clot and drag it out......mac

The procedure is routine, but so is a shot in the eye, but it can be unnerving. I will pray for your brother but both he and you have to trust that God's will be done and be willing, as was His Son, to accept His will.

It's not a blood clot, from what she said. She said cholesterol clot, but maybe she was confused.

Thanks SJ and Ludwig.

I believe God was already looking out. He went to his doc for blood pressure issues ( high/low/high/low) and the doc ordered a CT scan, since he couldn't find a problem. That's how they found it.

It was long, about 3 hours, but they say the surgery went well.
