At 2 am on March 16 Shane woke up with a really bad headache which is definitely unusual but he took Tylenol and some IB and went back to bed at 6 am he was throwing up and by 6:30 he had lost his vision, by 6:45 we were at the ER at UVRMC. After a quick CT the bleed in his brain was obvious. We were told that he had a "Brain Aneurysm". Really are you joking I just keep thinking this is got to be a joke but know it wasn't. They rushed him to the cath lab for a angiogram but first his uncle Thayne arrived to give him a blessing and then off to the OR where his head was shaved (but not the beard) and a hole was drilled in his skull to drain off the blood and clamp the bleed. Next there were 2 different shunts placed in his head so that the extra blood could drain off his brain. Then he was wheeled to ICU. Yes there was definitely more that happened this is just the glossy version. Currently he is in a lot of pain but he is stable and the pain is being managed. He has an amazing nursing staff that are doing an excellent job of taking care of him. He still knows who he is and everyone who comes to see him, he knows his children names and what day it is and what has happened to him, but the vision still has not returned. To all of you who were here today to love and support him thank you so much!!! We are so very blessed to have friends and family who will not think twice to stand by you in your time of need. I will try to post regularly to keep everyone informed, please pray for him.
