blood clotting in brain due to accident - #13898

Riya

I am really worried about something that happened last week. My sister had a pretty bad accident while she was biking, and she ended up with a concussion. They did a CT scan at the hospital and found indications of blood clotting in the brain due to the accident. The doctors explained it to us, but honestly, I feel overwhelmed and confused. How does blood clotting in the brain due to an accident even happen? They said it's pretty serious and that it could lead to pretty major complications. We've been told she needs to be monitored closely, but I can't help but think about all the what-ifs and how blood clotting in the brain due to an accident can affect her life moving forward. I know rest is important, but are there other things we should be doing or looking out for? Like, are there specific symptoms we need to watch for that indicate things are getting worse? And can blood clotting in the brain due to an accident be treated without surgery if it’s not too big? Feeling pretty helpless here, trying to understand how we can support her recovery. Thanks for any insight you can offer.
