Tough, tough day….
Things are bad with Trish. Fluid is building in Trish’s brain. Her incision is leaking. The neurosurgeon put in a new suture to close it up, but said they worry her skin is breaking down and not healing, thus not holding the sutures. This is due to her age, many health problems, and the injury to her brain from the bleed, two surgeries and the infection, which is being treated but is not over. All of that slows down her body’s normal healing processes. They may have to do a further surgery to put a drain going from her brain to her spine. There is always the chance of further infection from further surgeries. They told us to be prepared for possible permanent nursing home care, and that Trish would never again be person we knew. How that might manifest is unclear, but that’s what they told us. Without a miracle….
