hi, my friend was assalted, she was punched in the head and stomache. The hit to the head lead to blood in the brain, which she is in the hospital now. Will she live through it? how will it be treated? as well as, What may the results be? She is 18 years old
That's a terrible tragic thing that happened.  Hopefully, things will be fine and they'll get the barbarians that did that.  Your best source of information will be right there in the hospital. The doctors that are attending to her will be doing careful neurological monitoring round the clock....especially, if she's unconscious (hopefully not). Often times when the amount of bleeding into the brain is minimal recovery can be virtually complete.  However, obviously, I can't give any sort of guarantee on this....everything hinges on the severity of the trauma, whether she is unconscious or not, and what her actual neurological examination is like as time goes on. Treatment will likely depend on how much blood is in the brain.  Sometimes if it causes a lot of pressure then, surgeons will go right away and relieve that pressure by extracting the blood.  Results are entirely variable due to obvious things that I can't know but all I can say is the younger the injured person in something like this the better the chances for a good recovery.  Also, the sooner she wakes up...or if she already is awake and breathing on her own for example the better the prognosis.  It just really depends on a lot of things. Best of luck and I do hope your friend fully recovers, and they get the cowards that did that and put them somewhere where they may enjoy some of the same favors from people of their own persuasion! If you found this response helpful would please assign a rating to the response?  Many thanks and keep by her side....with your help she's gotta get better, wouldn't you say?  :)
