The procedure that had been scheduled for Aaron this morning has been canceled. The results of his CAT scan yesterday gave the doctors a more detailed view of his arterial system and they decided that the surgery was an unnecessary risk. He is now starting a medication-based treatment plan.
This does mean that Aaron will be in the hospital a few days longer. Then he will need to stay in the Dallas area for at least a week after he is released, until a follow-up appointment.
Today Aaron is feeling stronger. The physical therapists walked him all the way down the hall this morning and promised they would be back later for more.
