I'd like to but without imaging it's impossible, what I can say is that the brain, ironically, can't feel pain. The pressure causes the symptoms, and, well, that's clearly no longer an issue. Given the catastrophic nature of the situation though, I doubt she has any awareness, that requires lots of pieces to be working together and they were likely crushed to ribbons long before the rupture (which will likely prove fatal, a small mercy?)
I hope Chance makes it out alright, but his circumstances are still an uphill battle. Smith has a seven-year-old son who does not have a mother. February 6th marked a full year since she entered a coma because the hospital refused to treat her bloodclots.
So basically her skull kept expanding as a baby, and never had a chance to "knit" together (babies have a "soft spot" on their head where the bones of the skull haven't fused together yet, to allow the skull to be a little malleable during birth).
Jesus fucking Christ.
But you can feel your skull... Hopefully her skull is stretched not broken.
Eh, this story always breaks my heart. It's one of the worst possible fates of a woman.
It's basically the same layer of fluid that normally surrounds the brain. It's just that there might be something covering that hole, and I'm not exactly sure if it's just an thinning layer of skin and bone, at this point
She is on continuous powerful antibiotics to keep the permanent raging brain infection under some kind of control. (This is one of the things they’re trying to raise money for)
Is there any indication of him being a tard baby, or is he just an extreme preemie whose life started in a tragic way?
Not yet. He was incredibly premature and his lungs were underdeveloped. There's been no word on things like brain function. All we know is he's gaining weight.
conduct disorder is the pediatric version of an ASPD diagnosis. kids with conduct disorder steal & lie constantly, and if give the opportunity they will usually set fires or hurt animals. ODD is usually diagnosed in kids that refuse to do what they are told and talk back to authority figures. While that is very infuriating, it doesn't really hurt anyone. I've also noticed that a lot of kids I know who got diagnosed with ODD have really controlling parents, so I think it might be something you can induce in children if you inundate them with especially retarded demands. If you ask people to do things that are needless and stupid they eventually start to conclude doing the opposite of what you've asked is the best policy.... The break down in respect for parental authority is blamed 100% on the child, which doesn't seem correct. It probably boils down to having a disagreeable personality, which is usually inherited. I don't think it is a disorder any real sense, society needs disagreeable people and having personal difficulty because of it isn't a disorder in the way that anorexia or bipolar is.
she can't feel pain. Her brain stem is chugging along keeping her heart and lungs going and her spine nerves might make her limbs move from time to time, but other than that she is 100% potato.
I just hope he's not being kept "alive" as an experiment, like she was.
I'm going to blunt here: Chance's existence after his mother's brain death is one long ongoing experiment. It seems to be working out, somehow, but a good result doesn't negate a bad idea.
Use archive.ph next time, wayback have a tendency to remove content.
Please tell me that it wasn't infested with gooners
