Tasha's brains

[transmothra]

today (13.02.02) my friend, and my pal Tony's g/f, Tasha went in to the hospital, to have a coil inserted in a blood vessel in her brain (she had an aneurism a few weeks ago). something went wrong. Tony called me tonight around 11ish, obviously freaked out. he said that they got the coil almost in, but the vessel ruptured. the doctors were able to stop the bleeding. no she will have to undergo REAL brain surgery tomorrow at 11am so they can clamp it off and fix her up. i asked him to call me and i'm going to try to go down to see them. i sure hope things will be all right. she's in ICU right now, "hooked up" in Tony's words. it's all very frightening, but i'm sure that things will work out. they have to.

update: they didn't have to do brain surgery after all. it turns out that what they were able to do ended up working all right. i went in to see her yesterday and the doctor said that the aneurism was gone. she looked really uncomfortable with the tube down her throat... she woke up really soon after whatever it was they did to determine that her coil had worked. she's a real trooper; mad props to Tasha for going through all that she has gone through.
