Betty had some valid points on a 2nd opinion. It also may help your sister decide more clearly, what to do, based on her quality of life with or without surgery. Our prayers are with both of you as you make such hard decisions. God speed this very difficult task ahead. It does sound like your sweet sister listens to you and she will know that if you have to decide for her, that you always have her best interest at heart.<br />Love, hugs and constant prayers as you go through this process with her. God's will be done.Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-53518735541454952062018-04-19T00:36:47.919-04:002018-04-19T00:36:47.919-04:00I'd get a second opinion before I decided one ...I'd get a second opinion before I decided one way or another, just to have the opinion of someone else. I think I would specifically ask if this could be the cause of some of the cognitive issues and if this perhaps would help them. I would also ask about prognosis with and without the surgery and how quality of life would improve or not improve if the surgery was not done. Once all those things had been discussed to where I got a good understanding for sure of what was going on, then I would probably favor the operation if it had more advantage to having it then not having it. But it is a tough one indeed and I don't envy you all in having to make it. Prayers definitely for all of you!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-65464409821335691682018-04-19T00:17:19.630-04:002018-04-19T00:17:19.630-04:00prayers for all of you. i wouldn't want someon...prayers for all of you. i wouldn't want someone to go against my wishes. but it's a tough spot to be in.

The techs could not have been nicer and assured us, that was not unusual. (2nd attempt was a 'go' with sedative.)<br /><br />I've asked Tom to read this, as well. Immediately, he was curious what the surgeons feel are pro's and con's of this procedure. Given their feelings, if the leak can be repaired and her cognitive faculties restored, we believe it's time to pull out the 'tough love' card and go for it. I only hope and pray - if faced with the same scenario - my son would put aside my protests and do what he feels is the sound, if unpopular, decision. <br /><br />I'm so sorry you're having to walk this talk. Prayers for all! <br />Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-46956725169557516542018-04-18T22:24:05.188-04:002018-04-18T22:24:05.188-04:00The leak is probably what is causing all or a lot ...The leak is probably what is causing all or a lot of the issues. It might kill her or cause her to become ill. However - i have made my wishes know now that i am cognitive - did she? - i mean sometimes and this sounds hard - and i don't mean it that way - you gotta let her wishes go forth. My mom loved her shoes - and they wanted to put sneakers on her - and i belt her in a chair - I could not do it. She fell a couple of times and that did not help her. But i feel she kept her dignity. I just couldn't do it knowing my mom. Pray and ask God and I will too. TOUGH DECISION. Next time they give her an MRI - get her a Valium - they do it all the time and should have this time seeing how anxious she was. They can ever put you out. But you have to know to ask.
