"Dear Family,
CT head scan done this morning. She has a lot of cerebral edema around the hematoma evacuation site rather than a vascular territory infarct. Her speech center appears spared on CT but remains too early to tell. There has been no rebleed.
Miriam has brisks pupillary reflexes. She remains in critical but stable condition. I saw her move her right arm slightly. Her bp is 112/61 but it would easily spike up with stimulation. She has a mild fever of 99.2F. They will be starting her on Mannitol drip and neosynephrine standby because she is sensitive to mannitol drip (bp drops easily).
Pray for: brain edema to improve and disappear completely; preservation of her speech and restoration of her motor skills; that she will not have any rebleeding in her brain; preservation of her speech; restoration of her motor strength and motor skills; regain her consciousness/ wake up from sleep; no complications such as infection, pneumonia and blood clots; that she responds well to all medications.
It is going to be a slow recovery and only God can change things for her." -Alex
