Thank you very much for the updates. Sending positive thoughts!
What a day, started off by seeing my wife off to surgery and spent the next 8 hours worrying about her.
heard from the surgeon by phone at around 6pm, then finally after some more waiting around got to see the patient at 11PM.
What a relief to find she is totally aware (for someone with a large dose of morphine and a general anesthetic), talking, moving well, with 2 working arms and legs, a smile, and a head full of stitches.
The operation consisted of opening a letter box shape in the back of her skull and going between the gray matter and the lower part of the brain (cerebellum),so we are lucky in the sense that she didnt have to have an excessively large crainiotomy.
From there, the surgeon occluded the various blood vessels and seems to have made a good job of it!
Happy new year to you all, it is certainly a happy start to the new year for myself and Joy!
p.s. sorry if my updates dont make alot of sense im trying my best!

That's great news Johnny and what a wonderful New Year you have embarked upon, as a healthier individual. May you continue to have a wonderful recovery.
Hi everyone i just wanted to let you all know that i have had the best news i could have ever dreamed of. I just got a phone call from the hospital to inform me that they had looked at the angiogram and i no longer have an avm and am i no need of any more future treatment. Me and my husband jonny cant really process the information atm its what i have dreamed about since i was diagnosed when i was 17 years old. such a world wind of emotions. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me letting me know what to expect with my treatment, i suppose i can now use it to let others know, now that im on the other side. So nice to have a place like this were you feel like you have others who are going through similar situations it feels like ur a little AVM family.
AVM free what a feeling.
lots of love Joy and JOnny
