It's been a really bad day... - Page 4

Thanks, guys!!!

It has been a rollercoaster ride these few days. While she remained relatively stable since my last updates, there have been quite a few scares along the way. It has been a really harrowing and stressful week.

Today's Day 7 since her "accident". They took her off sedation twice so far but she wasn't prepared. They have had to put her back on sedation soon after.

Just yesterday, they had to increase her sedation by 50% because her intracranial pressure was shooting up. That brought it down enough for them to try removing the sedation earlier today. However, after about 4-5 hours, they had to put her back on after they did a CT scan and found that she still had some cerebral oedema (swelling of the brain).

As you can see, it's been up and down... very stressful since one minute, you are optimistic and then the next minute, you don't feel quite so optimistic.

I think it's going to be a really long haul, no matter how good the ICU team is. The clot will take about 6 weeks to resolve by itself but in the meantime, they have to keep her stable and hope that they can get her off sedation soon, before other problems like pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, etc. sets in.

The good news is that she has remained relatively stable... and there has been no rebleed. The latest CT scan showed some cerebral oedema and according to the report, the clot hasn't shrunk much since the last CT scan. My own measurements showed a small reduction in size but maybe I'm just too optimistic.

No, she is still sedated. She's unlikely to wake for a few more days, but we are hoping she wakes soon.

I pray to the Lord of the Heaven for her to recover as soon as possible so that Adrian and both families won't have to worry too much.
