Intracerebral Hemorage
by robinatthebeach, May 20, 2007 12:00AM
My 77 year old mother had a stroke 2 weeks ago, she has only briefly and slightly opened her eyes and squeezed my hand. Her bleed was large. They are draining the blood from her brain. Her heart rate peeks to over 200, They have put a tract in and are about to put a feeding peg in. Can anyone tell me if she has a good chance of surviving, or is it just too much for the size of the bleed and her age?

The first 90 days will be her best chance at recovery. Best of luck.
