We recently found out our son, Owen has Moyamoya. Owen(OE) had a stroke three weeks ago. We were flown to the Children's Hospital in Denver for tests. He will have to get an Angiogram then they will schedule his surgery. Has this happened to anyone else?

I can see if I can find them. They were in our school district and I lost touch, but let me see what I can do. Best wishes,

I appreciate it. I'm very nervous about his upcoming surgery.

So far they are thinking not but because of his right side weakness the specialists believe he may have had a stroke at some point. That or he might have hemihypertrophy which is a disorder that causes one side of the body to grow more quickly than the other. So sorry to hear that Owen had a stroke. How is he doing now?

Owen is great!! He has surgery in May 2007 to help supply blood flow to his brain at Denver Children's Hospital. He has a follow up MRI/MRA in May 2008. He has to take aspirin as a blood thinner.

How's Brant?
