We've seen several more doctors this morning on their rounds. The blood clot is near the area of my mom's surgery, and it appears to be related to the the operation or the tumor itself. The blood clot expanded slightly downward since her MRI yesterday afternoon but there is still drainage. Earlier, this morning Dr. Black said he was glad to see it hadn't expanded upward. What they will do is run another MRI and keep an eye on this. If there is not improvement in a few days, the medical team will discuss using a blood thinner which would prevent the expansion of this blood clot.
The last doctor tested her vision, hearing and muscle control again and said she looked really good; although, hearing in her left ear is still diminished. Mom should be moving to the Neuro floor early this afternoon (I mispoke when I said recovery room).
Will be doing blood work to look for any potential predisposition or underlying causes for clotting other than surgical trama to the region.
