Sunday night (7/5/09) at 11:30 Mike started getting a migraine. He said he was getting a blindspot and the left side of his face and arm went numb! We went to the ER and he got every test you could think of. They ended up admitting him to a room and we both stayed there for 39 hours! After Catscans and MRIs and all sorts of testing they came to a diagnosis. Mike has a small benign cyst in the center of his brain. When it gets inflamed it cuts off the flow of spinal fluid and causes severe migraines with blindspots and dexterity issues. They released him from the hospital with no restrictions but he needs to see a neurosurgeon to determine whether or not he will need surgery. I'm nervous but I dont want to overreact. We'll see what the Dr. says. I'll just be over hear praying until I pass out, excuse me.
