I was told that the first 48 hours after a stroke are crucial, the surgeons wanted to perform an operation to remove a small part of the skull to expose the brain as it was so swollen. I didn't allow it as I had to give my permission, my feeling was this operation could potentially kill him before I even reached the hospital. Within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital he was rescanned in the early morning, it showed that the swelling in his brain had already come down and he wouldn't need the operation, that was the first major hurdle to get over. Also he had survived the night and could swallow.
He spent 1 week in that hospital on the Acute Stroke Ward, it was shocking for me that Nico being 41 years old was the youngest patient there, but strokes are on the increase in the young and even teenagers and children can have them. After 1 week he was well enough to be transferred nearer to home. That is when a whole new healing journey started as I was able to access Nikken products and healers.
