NEW BLOOD VESSELS HAVE GROWN!!!
Apr 9th, 2012 at 11:16pm
 
Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share fantastic news! My son Christopher had his 6 month post op MRI/MRA (though it was done late). He saw the neurologist today and preliminary results are new blood vessels have grown! They also do not see any new strokes or tia"s! 

We are so happy and relieved, feels like a huge weight has been lifted!

In June, we will be off to Boston to see his surgeons an have his cerebral angiogram done which will hopefully confirm the results we received today!   Cheesy

That is awesome news!  I know how you feel.  Destin had the same surgery.  The wait and see was awful...such a relief when those results show new growth.  Now take a deep breath and relax Smiley

That is great news!!!!!!!!  I had a appointment a year ago and they said the same thing.  My last surgery was 1 1/2 years ago and there are days I forget that I have MoyaMoya.  I also have been without strokes or TIA's for over 2 years.
