Hi

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. I had an unruptured aneurysm clipped in 2004, this is a long time ago and I didn't have major dramas after surgery, but I wanted to let you know that the brain is the slowest healing organ of all, and this insult to her brain will take a long time to recover from.

Don't give up hope, although it is slow healing it is a miraculous organ. Remember that she can probably hear you, even if she can't communicate so keep talking to her, telling her how much you love her and giving her lots of reasons to fight her way through this minefield that she is experiencing.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both - I think it is much harder for the people who are sitting next to the bed and waiting for things to happen than it is for the patient.

Take care, look after you and keep in touch about her progress.

Lyn
