Journal entry by David Adamson —
So the TPA meds they gave her (the clot buster) did cause the brain to bleed, so there is blood on her brain that is most likely causing her to not wake up. They are going to have to put in a pick line (internal IV) to give her the meds she needs to dry up the blood. They will do another scan tomorrow if the brain is still bleeding. If it is there is a chance she will have to go back in for surgery, this time they would go in and remove part of here scalp to get to the bleed and stop it. They are monitoring her every 30 mins now and drawing bleeding every 3 hour.
