Is brain swelling normal after a major stroke and how long before we should worry? - brain swelling more condition_symptoms
My ex-husband had a stroke three days ago, and now his brain is swelling, can not treat his stroke (ischemia) due to poor blood disorders. They say to sit and wait. He was already 70% of the damage on the right side of the brain. He still wakes up a word and provides the answers. He is 42 years. I do not know what I say to prepare my child. He is 9 years.

The hospital where her husband is a chaplain and a "specialist" in the lives of children, and I encourage you to take advantage of both.
Ask your doctor write an order for your child to see a specialist in the lives of children. The little girl (usually) a great experience working with children in situations of terror in the hospital and able to explain what is meant with her husband in a way your child.
If there is a way that you take with you when the round Kaplan made a neurologist, a great support for you and can absorb the shock when the doctor tells you about her husband's prognosis for functional recovery. 70% damage is huge.
Ask your doctor for references to speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy, if not already there.
I'm sure the neurologist,
Cerebral edema is a reaction to an injury. A stroke is an injury and is ignited as a healing response.
The brain, more beautiful, can be compared in order to get a bruise on his arm. It swells up until it heals.
The more damage you are about this, it is difficult for your child. More your child suppresses his feelings, it will be more destructive behavior later on.
To prepare your child for the future, get a family therapist through your insurance. I am sure they will pay and that you qualify because of the trauma.
Your husband should be physical with their insurance to treat. You can not be without one days after recovery or atrophy on the side of his body is not used, hopefully, falls.
I can not imagine what happens. Do you have relatives who can help with this burden? Friends? Church?
The link below is an article entitled "How to do justice with the illness of their parents." It was written for teenagers, but I believe that you have read an idea that you can talk with your child.
Times really bad, my husband also, and leaving him paralyzed on the right side and with language disorders usually comes with many types of stroke. Her ex-husband has a long and difficult road to recovery. If on that stage and the house is stabilized, it can begin treatment when it is strong enough. I want to tell your son "everything is" OK "will", since it is likely that your ex is the hub overcome deficit and a long time. Only time will tell how to get in touch and how quickly. Indicate your child much hope for improvement, but prepare for a long period before they fathers.
I can understand the concern if you have any blood disorders, but loses much of his right brain hemisphere is tragic. For most people, the houses all the right brain's creative abilities, while the left brain deals with cold hard facts and evidence. This could explain a word, short answers. The right hemisphere is also a greater ability to be relational with people, it may lose much of the man we once knew. I can not offer medical advice and seek a second opinion if possible. I recommend a book you are reading. It's called "My career at Insight" by Jill Bolte Taylor. It may be in the recovery process is useful, but it has lost the function of his left brain. But details, see what the right brain and how we view the world.
I'm sorry to hear the very sad. difficult for your child, you eveything is good, but the father had a acidente, you do not know when it will be better. grows, you can explain more about what is wrong. be strong for both. I pray that during this difficult time
It's tragic. Sorry.
No, not normal ...
