Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it.

Oh my gosh! Did she asked to be PAID to take care of you growing up?! Get a life and take care of your mother! It isn't her fault she is disabled and I can't believe you would ask such a insensitive question! Take care of your mother....God forbid you get into a terrible accident and have to have someone take of you.....I am so ashamed of you.

There are a number of etiologies (causes) of increased intracranial pressure.  The approach would depend on which one is causing her problem.  I've given you the NIH link on the subject.\n\nAloha

Well they say that the birthing process is not only painful for the mother but for the baby as well. Could you imagine being in the womb but then suddenly all the fluid that keeps you warm drains and the muscles around you start contracting pushing your head down into a very small canal that is usually much smaller than a adult fist. The pressure on a baby that is in the birth canal but be very painful. And then when you come out you are confused disorientated and cold and wet. I imagine it terrifying to be born. Thats probably why we do not remember it ;D\n\nReally though it is good for them to cry to get the air to the brain and lungs.

I was in pain for months following my c-section. It had nothing to do with the c-section itself. My hormones made it so that I was unable to produce any lubrication. This made me and my husband uncomfortable. He thought that he didn't make me satisfied anymore. We discussed this with my doctor, and she said that until your hormones come into order again, you may need to use a personal lubricant. We used KY for several months, and I got pregnant again 6 months after the first was born. After she was born. Yep pain again. Waited another 8 months, and now I'm back in action pain free. Some don't experience this, and some not as long. Maybe your doctor could be more help than mine. I know it hurts, and sometimes emotionally as well. If it doesn't subside, see your doctor (OBGYN). They should be able to help you. Congratulations!!

Of course, it would be. They can't say anything formally but they will treat her as if she is a liability. Your lawsuit would be against bothe the party responsible and the hospital. While the case was going on they would have to watch what they said and did around your mother as she could be a witness against them. So, yes it would hurt her working environment, at least for a while.

Neonatal convulsions and seizures often time occur due to birthing trama.  The birthing process often time displaces the child’s cervical vertebra and cranial bones.  This can do a number of things from obstructing veinous drainage from inside the cranium, pulling on the dura mater that surrounds the brain and attaches to the first two cervical vertebra, could also put pressure on the spinal cord.  This pressure will cause an over stimulation of the muscular control centers of the brain and this will cause the body to go into convulsions and seizures in an attempt to relieve this pressure.  Chiropractic has had a large amount of success with correcting spinal and cranial subluxations or misalignments.  I suggest seeking a quality chiropractor that works with pediatric patients and also one that does cranial work.  Here is a sites I suggest reading!\nhttp://www.icpa4kids.org/research/chiropractic.htm\nhttp://www.icpa4kids.org/research/chiropractic/birthtrauma.htm\nhttp://www.icpa4kids.org/research/chiropractic/epilepsy.htm\n\nYou can also search for a chiropractor on these pages!\nMy prayers are with you.

Never heard of anything like this in my practice before.  If you haven't already, see your OB.  If he/she doesn't know what it is then see a spine specialist.  Good luck.

Sometimes women of Mediterranean descent have something called Cytomegalovirus.  It is something that should be monitored, if you test positive for it, during your pregnancy. It can occur congenitally, postnatally, or later in life.  This virus can produce a latent infection that may be subsequently activated by pregnancy. It can cause mental retardation in neonates.\nBut I wouldn't worry too much about it. In the 12 years I worked OB/GYN I never knew of anyone that tested positive for it.  I hope this has been helpful to you, and didn't scare you too much!

Funny you should ask.  I have been answering a lot of questions here, but two years ago I was in exactly the same situation as you are now.  My wife (28 at the time) was in a car accident and ended up with TBI.  I was desperate to hear some stories, since I knew the neurosurgeons would never commit to any prognosis.  My wife stayed in a coma for 9 days and then slowly started waking up.  Initially, she had difficult talking, concentrating, walking etc, but over the course of six weeks, her physical therapists got her back to a great shape.  She continued her recovery and today the accident is just a memory. She is back to herself 100% and we just had a baby boy.  So I want to give you some hope.  The thing with TBI is that it is very unpredictible.  Her MRI looked quite bad apparently (she had the dreaded diffuse axonal injury) and yet she recovered fully.  I'd say she was back to 90% at six months and has been at 100% since then.  In retrospect, there were two important things.  She had excellent neurosurgical care that made sure the intracranial pressure never got too high.  I don't know how recent your daughter's accident was, but if it is days, that is absolutely the key thing.  Inquire about those pressures if you can.  The second thing was a comprehensive physical, speech and occupational therapy program.  Make sure your daughter gets the best.  \n\nAll the best to you and your daughter and never loose any hope!

Spina bifida is something that can't always be controlled. A baby born spina bifida is born with the spine outside of the skin. That causes a certain type of brain damage meaning that as the child gets older they can learn to walk but it's much more difficult than someone born without spina bifida. Does that help?

She has her rights and the baby needs its mother. But the root is if mom's capable, and medications in her system that could be in her milk, the question is simple the answers is deep.

Childbirth.\nDue the the ineptitude of the Dr's treating me they waited until the very last minute to do a crash c-section.  My son was delivered fine but I almost died several times that night from complications of that surgery.  Since they had to repair the incision in a hurry I was also left with permanent painful and disfiguring scars.  My son will be 15 in June.

She is actually qualified to provide medical care to pregnant women, and she can also deliver babies. Some will even go to the laboring womans home to deliver the baby, provided that the pregnancy is not high risk. She isn't qualified to do C-section births, however an OB/GYN does them.

the part of her brain that controls those muscles was probably damaged. physical therapy is the best bet for improvement but not a sure thing
