The CT showed more bleeding in the brain. They put a tube in Mom's brain to release some of the pressure. Details about the procedure can be found below:

I stayed with her during the entire procedure. It was very quick. Within a few minutes Mom was more responsive. She was struggling to breathe a little, so they decided to put her under anesthesia and a breathing machine. This way her body is not wasting energy on struggling to breath.
In the morning they will wake her up and we will see where we are. We are going to bed.
Keep praying,
Love Stephen
I must tell you about the extraordinary job the staff did today. Candace, mom's nurse, worked from 6 a.m. to just a few minutes ago because they were short staffed and they needed some extra hands working with Mom. Also, Natalie the LVN worked the same ridiculous overtime to help with mom and was very helpful. The Neurologist, Clarissa (not 100% sure of her name) did a fabulous job on the ventriculostomy.

You all are in our thoughts and prayers-please tell your mom that all of the Mann clan is praying for her constantly-and you too! Our prayers are also with the Ramirez family.
