Most family members and friends have heard this already, but my mom had another brain bleed on August 5. It was about three times bigger than the one she had in April. It was disappointing because she had just discharged the VNA aides and visiting nurses and was doing well at home, only using her cane outdoors.
She had her first ever helicopter ride, which she didn’t particularly enjoy. Flight for Life took her from the local emergency room to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. She was in ICU for four days then she was transferred to the Comprehensive Stroke Center. Hopefully she will be transferred sometime today to a rehab care center to begin all over with physical, speech, and occupational therapy. Her left side is much more affected this time, a big goal will be to get her walking again.
