This is Brent Luke, Cami just went into the operating room to start the procedure about three hours ago. They called at hour two and said it was going well so far. Now we can just wait, and see. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.
Cami Luke, for those who are not following her updates, is currently in surgery to remove a blood clot that has developed in her brain. It has been three hours, we got an update about an hour ago, that everything is progressing well so far. They should be calling in another hour to give us another update.
(5 1/2 hours) Cami Luke is coming out of surgery. Waiting to talk to the doctor. We are hopeful that all went well.
Ok. So Cami came out of surgery about two hours ago and is now sleeping. The doctor was encouraging. He said the procedure went well, and they were able to place the catheters in her head. The best option would have been to use something called an angiojet(?) to break up the clot and suction it away. They could not get around the clot to do this. So they are using the catheters to administer anticoagulant directly to the clot. They will then check on the clot in the morning to see if it is dissolving. I will keep everyone posted, and let you know more in the morning. Thank you for all your prayers.
Cami Luke is sleeping now. Her doctor said the procedure weren't well. They got the catheters in place. They had two options one there, use an angiojet(?) to break up the clot and suction it away, or administer anticoagulant directly to the clot. They were unable to use the angiojet(?). So they will be monitoring her through the night and check on the progress of the clot tomorrow. That'll you for your thoughts and prayers.
