Beyond Most Dangerous Stroke Risk Period; TCDs Cancelled
Saturday night made for a full twelve days since the incident. No Vaso Spasm is present. The most dangerous period has passed. TCDs are typically cancelled after 14 days. Doctors cancelled Mom's TCDs after 12 days.
Mom remains at increased risk of Vaso Spasm for an additional 9 days, or until late in the evening of Monday, May 8. This risk is not as high as the risk has been the last 9 days. Going forward, doctors and nurses will monitor her neurology through questions, requests, and physical movements. These will indicate if she is having a problem with blood flow in her brain. I will question her doctor further about this on Monday morning.
This is another important marker which Mom has passed by.
Her outlook brightens.
