Update on Brian

Sorry the update is so late but as Ginger reminded me I must update on medical conditions! Love ya Gin! Attached is a email I sent out last month. Sorry to be short but I have been the busiest I have ever been!

The doctor said that Brian’s MRI and MRA came back normal! This is excellent news! On the flip side his BP is still very very high on average. Dr. Neece suggested getting Dr. Neumann (our primary care who will be taking over at this point) also prescribe a medicine that Brian will take when he feels his BP starting to rise or when he gets a high reading. Also he suggested another medication that will be taken in combination with the one he is already on. He did say that at this time Brian’s BP was “unacceptable” and must be brought down significantly.
SOOO….Brian sees Dr. Neumann again this coming Monday. We will continue to monitor his BP several times a day and so not to worry.
In regards to vertebral artery, it looks like he was just born that way and Dr. Neece said this was nothing to be concerned about. He said that whatever the right artery is lacking, the left side picks up. That is good too!
