6 weeks 4 days since my partner had a brain haemorrhage. The haemorrhage bleed into a ventricle and caused breathing problems as well as collapse.
My partner came home from being shopping at around 17:00 on that day, ran in and starting being sick complaining of a migraine. With in 30 minutes she was unconscious and being sick whilst unconscious. In between this happening and the ambulance arriving she also had a seizure.
Once she was in a Neurological critical care unit a ventricle drain was put in and she was also put on a ventilator. After 10 days of critical care she was responding and starting to react, so was transferred to a ward. Within 24 hours of being on the ward she had a relapse, caused by an infection at the site of the EBD drain.
Since then she has been fighting bacterial Ventriculitis has had the EBD drain moved 3 times as the infection colonise’s the drain site.
So, no we wait for the infection to subside, which it is amd in the past few days she has started to respond once again.
I have no idea what to expect going forward. How she will recover.
Has anyone had Ventriculitis? Or known someone who has.
Just having some insight to recovery or after effects would help a little.
Many thanks for reading
