Hi Keith,
I know it's been a while since you posted but my mom had a hemorrhagic stroke on May 30th and I have some questions for you. You said you had vision issues. What kind of issues and how long did it take for them to go away? Also, how long before your short term memory loss cleared? I keep reading these posts looking for how long it took before the blood reabsorbed back into the brain and what if any improvements came along with that but so far no luck!
Thanks,
Sandy
Shot.. I do not know the answer to that. My Mom had a massive stroke to her brainstem. She opened her eyes a few times during the week she was in the ICU, but it didn't appear that she heard me. I videotaped a conversation I had with her and when I asked her to blink her eyes, it looked like she did, but it could have been coincidental. She had a blank stare... it was very sad, but we talked to her anyway. We decided to bring her home on hospice after 5 days in ICU.. she was 80yo... and we did not want to put a feeding tube in her and send her off to a nursing home in the shape she was in. She would not have wanted that. It's been a very hard 6mo for my family.
Does your niece follow you with her eyes? Any recognition to the outside world?
I am so very sorry about your brother... so very sorry :( I lost my Mom in October due to a massive stroke to her brainstem... it is heartbreaking. My prayers go out to you and your family during this time of loss. We have no answers... I know it's so very sad, I'm sorry.
Day 11 for my niece she had a blank stare moves her right arm somebody tell me will it ever get better. Can the see anything, are they in pain?
It's good to read a good report. Thank you Lord
Same with ny 40 year old niece I am praying for a miracle. I am praying for you as well
