We have been told that brain hemorrhage swelling typically begins to recede after 3 days, when we might begin to see more responsiveness and activity in my mother. We hit the 3-day point overnight.
Sadly, her physical condition and presence has been slowly declining all week. Day to day, there is less of “her” here with us. Even though we passed the 3-day mark today, we do not see any positive changes.
She is off the sedative but not awake and still on the ventilator in the Critical Care Unit. She is peaceful and her vital signs are good, under the circumstances. My brother and I are with her until late each night. Her closest friends have visited, relaying well-wishes from many, many others.
We are hoping for a quiet weekend with any signs of recovery. Monday will begin a new week and we will see what that brings. Thank you all for your concerns and prayers. If you have any messages for my mother, click on "COMMENTS" below to enter them and we will pass them on.
