Update on my sister.
That is why I wanted to go. Got in trouble for leaving work, but that is okay with me.
When to the doctors, she does not have what she said. She has Takayasu’s arteritis disease. This is good because they can treat her with medicine. If the meds don't work they can put stents in.
She has 2 blocked arteries from the heart and shoulders on each side the one on the right is 70 to 99 % and the left one is 40 % blocked. They are going to send her to a vascular doctor that deals with this disease. When they send her I will have to go with her, she does not ask any questions like I do.
Thanks for all the prayers and support. I will keep you updated.
Hugs DeVon

Bravo, DeVon! We do what is needed for our loved ones! The doctors will probably place stents in the
clogged arteries for increased bloodflow! She will most likely do splendidly well! My husband had a stent placed in an artery several years ago, went back to work a week later and has had so much more strength to do things he had found difficult before the surgery! Tell sis to relax, all will be fine, when the arteries are opened! May the Lord bless you both with peace of mind!
