Aysha - 4/3/09

Aysha not fully responsive. Some response when given easy commands. She is scared and tries to get up and look around. Too much stress and pressure on the brain. Neurologist puts her on full sedation medication overnight. She has limb movement and control before that. Pupils still constricted. MRI shows location of AVM, right thalamus. Its very deep and near center of the brain.
She is on long list of medications including versed, fentonyl, antibiotics. IVs in both arms. Central venous line to monitor blood pressures. Catheters from the brain to drain blood and CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) and monitor ICP ( intra cranial pressure). Also she is in respirator to assist in breathing through the intubation tube put in by EMTs in the ambulance.
