Sorry fellas but I'm not a lady. Crazy enough, my brother was being retarded and suggested the name back in the day. I have no idea in the world why he came up with it.

I can tell you where it came from, but it would get me banned...

people mistakenly think you are a girl, because at a glance, as the first thing that you see is "Sandra"

He still hasn't woken up. The doctors were able to run a CT scan on him over night. The brain had some significant swelling and there were two blood clots on the left side of his brain. The positive here is that the blood clots have not gotten any bigger since he was admitted in so they will leave them be for right now. They are going to try an MRI at 11am if his body will cooperate with them.



Sorry man. Still a waiting game though. which is good. To this point all is survivable, even could walk away from all of this. His ICP number is critical now. Thats the cranial pressure. I'm sure he has a monitor placed. Clots can be removed.

At this point he will not wake up. I'm sure they don't want him to. He needs to rest and allow the swelling to go down. Don't let the fact that he won't "wake up" bother you. It ain't the goal at this stage. He's probably VERY medicated to keep him from waking up in addition to the injury.

I had a similar situation with my younger brother. He was in ICU for about a month but his coma was induced. Prayers being sent up man. It is something I do not wish on anybody.

Thanks for the knowledge. I'm gaining more understanding of this entire process as time goes by

Just an ER nurse here. Hope some trauma ICU or neuro ICU nurses can chime in. The further he goes in this process, the further I get from knowing what the hell I am talking about.

All the best.

Praying for you.



Would you happen to know what street he wrecked on. Some friends have a relative that wrecked this weekend too and I'm wondering if it's the same accident.
