Hi,
My name is Liz and my Mum who is 58 and is normally a fit and well PE teacher suffered a grade 2 SAH 4 weeks ago. She had coiling and then developed hydrocephalus two days later so had an evd fitted. She was in intensive care at Hull Royal Infirmary for 17 days and then in the Neuro High Dependency Ward for another 7 days. She was somewhat unexpectedly discharged last Thursday after the drs originally telling me that she would have to go to York for convalescence, and is now living with me in Berkshire for the foreseeable future. The drs were really pleased with her progress and I am delighted she's out for Christmas but a little scared to be looking after her after such a bumpy ride in ICU! I have no medical training and no kids so have absolutely no clue what to look out for or how best to help her recover!
She's been ok since Thursday, just tired and her eyes hurt but I understand this is very normal. She vomited quite violently this morning after toast and tea and I'm not sure whether or not I should be worried? She has gone for a lie down and seems ok. She was sick when the aneurysm burst and a couple of times in hospital, but not very often. She's been eating well up to now.
This site is absolutely fantastic so I thought I'd ask all of you experts whether I should be concerned about the vomiting?
