4/2/09 - 5pm est. Columbus, oh. Aysha says she fell down and hurt her head and complains of headache. (Now our understanding is that she didnt fall and hurt her head, but she had the rupture inside her brain that probably caused her to maybe fall. Main problem being the AVM). Lia immediately senses urgency and tells me we should get this checked out at ER. As soon as she says that, Aysha throws up multiple times. She hits her forehead with her hand multiple times because of the intense pain and blanks out. No response verbally. I decide to call 911 instead of driving to hospital, EMTs decide on airlift since she is a child and its rush hour. Aysha taken to Children's Hospital.
~8pm est. CT scan in ER. Neurologist suggest its AVM -Arteriovenous malformation. Blood formation in right hemisphere and blood clot also formed. Cranium drilled to release pressure on brain. No response from Aysha since before collapse, no eye contact, no focusing of sight. Pupils constricted.
Family members start arriving overnight to help with this ordeal.
