| Thought I would share this. God Bless her & her family.
Prayer soldiers please! I got the dreaded phone call last night and been keeping up with them throughout the night and today. This family is one of the best families in the rodeo industry. June is super close to my heart and one of my first roll models to take me in to live with her and her husband for 6 months, riding hauling laughing, rodeoing training . I have no doubt she’s tough and a fighter. And speak healing and peace over her body. Please pray for Grandma June is in Lincoln at Bryan East, she’s been in surgery since 3 this morning when they got her from Grand Island.
Last night after her run at the Greeley rodeo. She was walking her horse back to the trailer and then was found unconscious. No one knows what happened. Doctors found she had an aneurism. Pray for comfort and strength in her family. She’s one of the legends. And one of my biggest hero’s. We love you June hang in there
The family is asking for prayers, I believe in the power of prayer and I know we have some strong prayers being lifted up for them.

| That is very bad but on the positive side I know two people who had brain aneurysms that survived and are doing very well. One of them is caughtyawl on BHW's mom. I do believe prayer saved both of them. Prayers for June and guiding the doctors and her family. |

| Vickie Reinhardt posted this...June Holeman had a coronary dissection (I looked this up) which is when the layers of an artery separate and blood gets between the layers. Apparently this caused a heart attack. There is also a tear in the aorta. She has a cut on the back of her head from when she fell. She is in stable but critical condition. I tried to copy and paste but was not able to do this is a summary |

| This is so sad, I hope it all works out in the end.
I was her go to camera guy when she was running at all the races and jackpots in Colo a few years ago. Her old video camera was broke and taped together and needed to be held just right to make it work and she didnt want to train a new person how to operate it every time. Cool lady, very gritty and kind. |

Don't think it is the same but may be worse. Ask BEAR. I know two people who are doing very well after brain aneurysms. One is CAUGHT YAWL's mom on here.
Still very serious.

This is a little hard to explain in a way that is easily understandable, but I’ll give it a try.
It sounds to me like June had an aortic “dissection” which is not the same as a garden variety aortic aneurysm. Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of the problem in both instances. With an aortic aneurysm, all the 3 layers of the aorta are involved in a weakening and bulging (dilation) of the aorta. Over 90% of these are in the abdomen (below the diaphragm). Think of these like a bulge in an old bicycle tire. That bulge continues to expand where the tire is weak, and eventually it bursts. That’s what happens when an abdominal aortic aneurysm “ruptures”. Most of the time that rupture leads to massive bleeding which is somewhat contained by the peritoneum, but if the aneurysm isn’t treated surgically in a very timely fashion the patient will die from hemorrhage. Ruptured aortic aneurysms carry about a 90% mortality. Some will present with pain and some “leaking”. Those are different, and if you are on the ball you can operate and save many of these. Conway Twitty died from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. About 95% of ruptured aneurysms are in the abdomen. The rest are in the chest.
With an aortic dissection, there is atherosclerosis of the aorta, and almost always hypertension. The high blood pressure causes shearing of the inner layer aortic wall and two “channels” in the aorta. Think of a power washer on an old tree. Eventually the force of the stream can cut through the bark and make its way along the bark and the wood. The jet of water makes its way along the wood and separates the bark from the tree. The aorta itself may not be dilated, but sometimes it is. If the dissection starts in the aorta after it leaves the heart, the false channel can go both downstream and also back toward the heart. That dissection can involve the openings of the coronary arteries and the flap can occlude (partially or completely) the openings of the coronaries, just above the aortic valve. Those kinds of aortic “dissections” almost always require surgical intervention. The aortic arch has to be replaced with a graft, and the coronaries bypassed. If an aortic dissection begins further down the aorta, in the chest or abdomen, treatment is usually, initially aimed at lowering the high blood pressure. In so doing the dissection stops advancing. Eventually, surgery may or may not be required.
John Ritter died from an aortic “dissection”. Sometimes a dissection can result in weakening of the aorta and eventual rupture. I believe Ritter’s ruptured into his pericardium and that led to his rapid demise. I don’t know enough to speculate on June’s specific circumstances. I don’t even know if she had surgery.
Two big differences between a ruptured aneurysm and aortic dissection:
With an aortic aneurysm RUPTURE typically people have severe back and abdominal pain, and usually LOW blood pressure from blood loss.
With aortic DISSECTION, typically there is severe, tearing back pain, usually starting in the upper back, and moving down, and almost always the blood pressure is very elevated....unless it has already caused a heart attack, etc...
Garden variety aortic aneurysms are much more common than dissections.

Location: Kansas | You did a wonderful job of explaining Bear. I followed it like a first grader and understood better than I thought I would. You said you didn't know if June had had surgery. Okhorselover who originally posted (at 11 am) noted that June had been in surgery since 3 am.
Our bodies are so complicated.
