I also know that when Teri spoke to us on last year's MSF, she mentioned that she'd had an MRI, MRA, SPECT, and PET so I'm sure they were aware of the aneurysm if it was in the brain.

I don't want to split hairs with you on this...I just felt that you were trivializing AVM's a bit, and I wondered where you got your information about their respective prognoses and how common AVMs and/or aneurysms are. The presumption that an MRI would detect a brain aneurysm - many of which are very small - well, I just didn't agree on that.
