Round 2 is in the books

There was very little waiting around this morning. We arrived at the clinic at 7:30 and the admission process began right away. After a couple signatures they took Azure-Dee in and prepared her for the procedure. Around 8:45 they sent me out to the waiting lounge and wheeled Azure-Dee away. I'm told that procedure lasted just over a half hour.

The doctor said that the procedure went well. Both the left and right jugulars had minor narrowing but nothing overly significant. The azygos on the other hand was again the culprit. This time the issue was a built up of scar tissue at the location of the stent. He said that it was 90% blocked and that the blood flow was reduced to a trickle. They used a balloon to treat the area and he said it responded well to the treatment. There is no way to know if the problem will return. All we can do is hope, pray, and keep her on blood thinners.

Right now we are just hanging 10 in the hotel room as she rests up. I guess we will see over the next couple days if she will see any improvements. Let's hope she does.
