ThruX December 5, 2009 Share ThruX Member December 5, 2009 Hello, Last weekend my Mom was crushed by a horse. Her skull is broken and has severe damage to the brain. To keep things basic the frontal lobe is badly bruised and there is extensive swelling causing the pressure to be dangerous. Everyday the specialist wants to do something different and has admitted to not knowing whats really wrong. She has been in a induced coma since the accident to keep her alive. They wanted to remove part of the skull and let the brain expand out to reduce the pressure. They also want to remove part of the brain. The other option we decided on was to wait it out and let her heal. She is being monitored but the pressure is still spiking throughout the day. If she becomes stable we may then attempt to wake her. I am really freaked out. Beside my Wife and Kids my Mom is the only person I have really been close to. Any thoughts, wishes, or prayers you could throw our way would be great. She is a remarkable person that makes many other people very happy. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThruX December 6, 2009 Author Share ThruX Member December 6, 2009 Thank you all. Things seem to be getting better. We all agree she will come out of this. The main issue right now is the pressure. She is receiving doses of medicine every 4 hours to counter the swelling. If the levels become to high it will damage the brain. We are all very anxious for her to make it past this step and start the recovery. It is very difficult to see her with machines keeping her alive. Her name is Rashell, and any prayers would greatly appreciated. All the wishing and positive thoughts seems to be helping. I will have to return home in a few days and am hoping for her to be awake by then. Everyone enjoy their holiday and tell your family you love them.
