Hemorrhagic Stroke Treatment at Barnes-Jewish Hospital

A hemorrhagic stroke, or what is also called a ruptured brain aneurysm, occurs when the walls of blood vessels are weakened, resulting in a blood-filled bulge. If left untreated, the aneurysm may rupture, causing a hemorrhagic stroke. Immediate and specialized treatment is a key element to minimize the damage, and survival depends on the expertise and speed with which a patient is treated.

The Stroke Team at Barnes-Jewish Hospital knows that time is critical, which is why they have honed treatment down to the second. They treat every stroke patient individually as no two aneurysms are the same, and each patient receives unique treatment based on their symptoms. The specialized critical care unit assigns a team to each patient and supervises the progress to help improve overall outcome.

My Mom (Age 52) Was Admitted to the Hospital Aug 26, 2017. She experienced a Hemorrhagic Stroke on Her Left Brain causing her Right side of the Body to Be Paralyzed and her speech was affected as well (Aphasia ).
We spent 3 weeks in the ICU.

Counting the days from her Operation (Aug 27, 2017),
It's like 1 Month and 10 days (40 days) now.

For her progress:
1. She can now sit in balance with both her hands on her lap.
2. When she tries to speak, there's a sound already. Louder sound when she cries.
3. She recognizes all of us and smiles a lot.
4. Since her speech was affected, I personally taught her to nod in case she agrees with my question for better communication. Ex., "Change Diaper?, or Turn lights Off? and Wheelchair?"
5. Yes, from No. 4, she wants to sit on wheelchair and NOT lay all the time.
6. She sings, "la-la-la" as she can already stick her tongue out. ( I downloaded videos for aphasia recovery)
7. She can swallow Soft Food like blended rice and juices. Her favorite, Jelly Ace!
8. She has minimal bed sores as she moves a lot in bed so we don't have to turn her body to the right - Flat -Turn Left and Cycle every hour.

Hoping to hear your comments and tips like supplements and what to avoid and etc.
Thank you guys! I'll try to update her after a month or so.

My mum is in ICU in Auntigue right now with this. Today is day 6, mum is in asleep like state her blood pressure is low now but her blood sugar is high. she is not speaking but has moved her left leg, which is the most affected side and opened and closed her eyes a phew times. She needs to see a neurosurgeon and needs an air ambulance to get her to a different country to save her life. The doctor told me i need an estimate of $16000 just for the air ambulance this does not include hospital fee and treatment. All I can do is pray that my mum makes it as I don't have the money mum needs to get her the help she needs. Please pray for my mum. her name is Clair Dumas. Thank you

My mum had ruptured aneurism 10 years ago
Back then she got treated with coiling even 2 weeks latter i still don't know how she survived those 2 weeks without surgical intervention... I still don't know why they delayed it so much... Thank god she is still alive but with some small speech difficulties

Wish my father survived this. We were left with two options, what we did, or wait and see. We chose the former.

And it all happened because the idiots and his hospital did not watch him for this.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing your story, we hope you're doing better now.

My grandma died from this in May and the worst part was it was before I graduated high school 😢

My father-in-law is in hospital at the moment and he suffered from hemorrhagic stroke how we can help to him? His blood pressure is changing

[chrisgipp]

@kingcrimson234 Yes, it's a common misconception that strokes only occur in the elderly. People keep saying to me that I'm to young to have a stroke, and I keep telling them that age has no bearing on strokes, and even more-so with hemorrhagic strokes.
