Update -- Thursday Evening

Master and I have just returned from the hospital. Here's what we know at this point...
T's mother did, indeed, have a stroke. It seems she has no speech and no movement on her right side. They took her back into surgery this afternoon, to attempt to determine the cause of the bleeding. Apparently, all of the surgical connections and patches are fine. There is no leakage and no seeping. They believe that the earlier bleeding was a result of a very large hematoma that formed under the skin after the first surgery. As of this evening, she is in intensive care, and they have her heavily sedated and on a ventilator. If the sedation wears off, she becomes very agitated and begins to flail and wave her left arm. They are concerned that she might dislodge the ventilator tube and so they have her restrained to prevent that.
T has gone home to her mother's house to try and get some sleep. I am sure she will be back at the hospital as soon as they will allow her into the ICU in the morning.
For now, we wait and hope...
Thank you for all your kind words. We'll keep you updated.
