Brain Surgery for this husband and dad of 7 kids 11 and under?!

After health complications the past year and a half and finding a spot on his brain a month ago, we’ve been given a few options for treatment for Michael: brain surgery or watch and wait. With 7 kids and him being so young still, we’ve wanted to make the best decision. We’ve met with several neurosurgeons and here’s what we’ve decided to do.
ABOUT US: Hey friends, we are The Tysons! You might know us from Ariel's Instagram account and being a family with 6 boys who recently welcomed our first GIRL! We are so excited to have you on this journey with us.

I worked as an ICU nurse in Neurosurgery for >30 years and want to assure you that surgery is the best option. Every time a cavernoma bleeds, it irritates brain tissue, causing the brain to swell. Your brain is in a closed box (your skull) and when it swells, it decreases brain function, causes extreme drowsiness, unrelieved headaches and some confusion/memory loss. It takes months for that blood to reabsorb and that process reirritates the brain, causing a reoccurance of those symptoms (like when a body bruise turns from blue-black to green to yellow--the breakdown of bruise blood takes weeks). Surgery can successfully remove the cavernoma but there is a recovery time from the surgery too. You are wise to have it removed to prevent future rebleeds. Surrender to God's plan and your surgeon's experience.

[@mchorselover53jane13]

Why is it not a surgery to be done STAT? Why wait until Jan 4?!?!

[@gakc3282]

@@mchorselover53jane13 The surgeon most likely considered the size of the bleed (leakage), location in the brain, surrounding edema (swelling) and Michael's symptoms. CCMs are a tangle of blood vessels, so if his symptoms are stable, it may be safe to allow the vessel that bled to clot and allow any swelling to decrease before the resection of the CCM. Incidentally, Michael's siblings and children may want to pursue genetic testing or to at least have his diagnosis on their own medical record since CCMs can be genetic or familial.

[@gakc3282]

I just wanted to clarify that having Michael's CCM diagnosis on the siblings and childrens' medical records is a Red Alert that a head injury, say from sports, or a family member who has migraines or other head symptoms can readily be qualified by their insurance to cover a CT or MRI scan to rule out a brain bleed. Some Emergency Rooms or medical personnel might not see the importance for scans unless this medical info is in the patient's family history.

I have been in extreme suffering for the past 3 years. Neurological, brain, immune system, and lost my normal vision where I cannot drive and can barely ride in the car. We are the same season of life that you are in with young kids and ministry and man it is rough💔 I went from full time mom and ministry to housebound and broken. I'm really sorry that you are facing this also. I will be praying for your healing and God's mercy for you and your family. We also have faced financial challenges because of all the thousand in medical bills and we lost everything to my sickness, so we know what that feels like. May the Lord show His incredible love and kindness to us all through our healing. ❤️ Praying for you

Your video came up for me to watch. I wanted to share. I'm a mom to 8. One of my son's was diagnosed with medulloblastoma ( brain cancer) at the age of 13. He had brain surgery, chemo and radiation for almost 3 years. It broke my mommy heart that I couldn't fix him with my mommy love but through it all I kept the faith. With no help I juggled the other kiddos, a new baby and pretty much lived in the hospital. Miracles do happen. My son is now a Nurse. God watch over you, your family and the medical team who will rid you of the cancer. I'm here if you need a friend or any questions. I have many tricks up my sleeve to get through brain cancer treatment. Just ask. Much love and prayers.

It was hard the first few days but my doctor was beside me each day and encouraging me and telling me what I was experiencing was normal and part of the recovery from the surgery. Every day and even twice a day he was there for me. It was rough for 3 or 4 days but then each day after I felt better. Stay strong. God will see you through.

I have a different brain condition, I've had brain surgery, and I am also retired from the medical field. First of all, you did the right thing, I too researched and consulted with multiple neurosurgeons and picked the best specialist for my condition and traveled from Texas to North Carolina so many times, including for two surgeries. Second of all, the whole mess of dealing with doctors, and the issues with care is nothing new, it's been like that forever and you are absolutely doing the right thing. I went into surgery with my entire surgical team praying with me as I held my mothers Bible. Just be sure to take time to heal, don't overdo it afterwards and you will be good!

My daughter was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at the age of 37. She had been having horrible headaches and the doctors just thought she was looking for drugs. It was one of her students parent, who is a PA that stood up and asked the doctor to do a CT because he knew my daughter and knew the type of person she was and the great teacher she was. After the CT they discovered the hydrocephalus and she was scheduled for surgery. It was a long process and she still has headaches especially when the pressure in the air changes but we are so grateful to the PA that stood up for her.

We have ten children. I just found out while I had covid in June that I had a colloid cyst in the third ventricle. It was an incidental find but actually may have saved my life. I saw a neurosurgeon in July who ordered more testing. I had brain surgery in August. I was very nervous about the recovery and overall I am doing fairly well. It is a hard choice. I am so grateful I went through with the surgery.

[@christlives417]

Did you get a random scan then found out?

[@travisandaliciabrooks1088]

@@christlives417 I actually developed neuralgia as a result of the COVID which landed me in the ER to rule out a clot. I was in excruciating pain, and having most of my kids naturally I have a fairly good pain tolerance. When they did the CT, they found the cyst. I had started having some headaches and dizziness prior but being a mom of 10 children, recently moving into a new construction home with all sorts of new smells and the stress of a young baby/moving/etc caused me to ignore them. It was truly a blessing that we found out because the neurosurgeon told me the cyst was almost an entire blockage which is pretty risky.

[@rwilliamsmith1963]

I too worked in the neurosurgical field for over 20 years and yes surgery is very frightening but in this circumstance I agree with your choice. With the type of care and attitude of the medical specialist in your area if you did have a major bleed they wouldn’t be the best to handle it. Prayers that this next part of your journey will indeed be everything you need to continue to be the husband, daddy and minister you are. Stay strong and follow all therapies necessary to help you regain your strength ( both body and mind) and God speed!!🙏🏻

I am so sad to hear of your experience. I had to stop being an ER nurse due to the lack of empathy the majority of the nurses in the ER setting possess not only to patients and their families but to each other.

I’ve been going through neurological issues for the last 4 years so can really relate to the issues you’re facing with doctors and decisions and being an advocate for yourself.

Sending you all love and light and a very Merry Christmas, you have so much love in your family and that’s what gets you through.

Praying for you and your family. I understand you completely and your condition. I'm a clinic manager for an OB/GYN clinic and had been having a horrible headache for a few days and the doctors I work for made me go next door to the hospital because they stated that I looked like something was wrong. I went over to the ER and had a CT scan suddenly; the stroke team came in said I had a CCM with a large bleed and due to this I was having a stroke. This was a shock for me. They got the bleed stopped and I'm back at 90% again. So just know the brain fog does get better. I'm glad you have found a great healthcare provider to help you with this journey. God will carry you and your family through this.

You both are making decisions in an educated manner which is always best. Be your own advocate is super important. Always go to the best healthcare providers that you can. If you hear no and you feel differently than get more options. I personally know about having serious health issues. Being your own advocate and knowing your body and symptoms, making sure you completely understand your options and diagnosis through reputable sources is all key for your best treatments and return to your best health.

I am an old person but had a brain bleed from a fall 22 months ago and I know how dificult it is not to be able to come up with words. I was very active giving classes, leading 15 youngsters, age 8 - 16 in cake decorating and had a sideline baking business. I'll be praying for you and your family and the operating surgeon and his staff on Jan. 4th.

Prayers to you during the surgery tomorrow. I ask that God guide the hands that will operate on your brain. You are so right you have so much still left to do. Amen

My son died from a brain aneurysm, he was 24 and had a headache for a few weeks but it would come and go and he was still active until one morning he lost it and said his head hurt really bad but by then it was to late. Ambulance came and he was gone before getting to the hospital. I had a sister who's in her 40s who had to go to ER 3 times for a headache and they just kept giving higher doses of pain pills until she finally said no something isn't right in my head. She had a brain bleed and one side of her brain was working and she was n hospital for months. I'm glad you know what was wrong and were able to treat it.
