They indicate a 2mm aneurysm on his carotid artery, near a fork, with a network of other veins in the same area. Surgery would be too high a risk due to the location. They will treat with meds and he will see his doctor again on July 8th. Doctor wants to research his options for treatment going forward.  Ed asks for our prayers."
