Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
I am sorry to hear about your sister Shiva. It is unfortunate but your sister has had one of the worst complications of surgery where a clot travels in blood stream and gets lodged in heart, lung or brain. It is very difficult to predict for how long she will need tracheostomy tube and Ryle’s tube feeding from nose. Normally drugs are given to dissolve the clot and the patient is monitored by regular MRIs. Sometimes a wait and watch policy is adopted. Please discuss with her treating doctor and neurologist. It is distressing, but only the doctors monitoring her can give you a clear picture. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
