Showing Original Post only (View all)An update on my Mom who fell outside Germain Arena Saturday morning. [View all]
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029577015She fell, most likely from standing in the heat for over 3 hours and had to go into emergency surgery to stop bleeding inside her cranial walls.
So after 2 days they have taken her off the sedation medication and she is waking up very well. She is still intibated so can't talk but she has looked at me in the eyes and seems to know it is me. She has also been able to follow some commands from the nurse. The doctor thinks she is doing really well.
Thank you all so much for the well wishes, thoughts and prayers.
