Re: [Texascavers] James Jasek Sunday doctor update
Thank you Carl Knowing Jim as you do, though, and all his medical past, I got a good chuckle about the “...minimal stress..” part. NOT HIS STYLE!! Lol When he does stuff, or things happen, it is ALL out it seems, and he knows I will be there.

Re: [Texascavers] James Jasek Sunday doctor update
Thanks Carol ❤️ As I have said before, our wonderful community of cavers from all over will be our strength! The rest part is the hardest for me, but happens when I really need it! Like for about half an hour just a bit ago when sat down before cleaning dishes from yummy backyard picnic from kids. I just go off!

Hi Mimi, Thanks for the updates. If you have any questions about speech, voice, cognition, language, or swallowing following a CVA please let me know. It's my area of expertise. Many patients on my typical caseload are adults with difficulties in these areas following a stroke. Lindsey On Sun, May 10, 2020, 3:08 PM Mimi Jasek wrote: > > Current doctor update.

[Texascavers] James Jasek Sunday doctor update
Current doctor update. As far as they can tell, it was a clot from heart that caused strokes on both sides of brain. Could have been seizure along with that, and intense evidence of major trauma to tongue from thrashing around caused subdural hematoma ( in sack or area around right side brain - bleed NOT in brain!). All tests so far today show bleed is stable, and no more strokes. Watchman procedure was successful and a good try to get Jim off Eliquis - super high level blood thinner - but obviously Jim is one who needs the heavy duty blood thinners☹️ Hence the strokes. Nothing we did was wrong, but did not give him the protection he needed Still on IV, total liquid diet, but can swallow, and this is improving. Is more alert, moving better, speech better, and WANTS OUT TO GO HOME!! Main concerns are high blood pressure and renal - kidney - function. Changed blood pressure IV meds to kidney friendly ones, put in a catheter for urine help, and have run every test possible to find cause of kidney decline. No medical cause so far, so could be a massive drop in blood pressure during stroke event. Have no idea how long event lasted, but serious low bp can cause ATN - acute tubular necrosis. Wait, treat, and see on this - heavy good thought and prayers here. DO NOT WANT DIALYSIS! Also, since no blood thinner protection due to bleed, could throw another clot.
