My aunt is in need of lots and lots of prayers please.... UPDATE.... Updated again.... Update #3!
She was having migraines yesterday, repetitive migraines.
Then her left side went numb.
Wound up that she has an accumulation of blood and fluid in her head, and they need to drill 2 holes in her head to relieve the pressure.
If that doesn't work, they are going to have to remove a piece of her skull to release the pressure.
Please pray...
Thank you...
Update - spoke with my cousin at around 10pm, and she told me that her mother (my aunt) is out of recovery.
They drilled the holes in her skull and have drainage tubes there now.
The problem is that between last night, and today prior to surgery, the liquid mass (a combination of fluid and blood) quadrupled in amount. When they went in to do the drilling, they didn't find the ACTUAL cause of the fluid/blood leak, so they have to do another CAT scan tomorrow to see if they can find the cause...
Update #2
So, I found out that it was 3 holes that they put in her head, but she has been having complications.
She has a fever of 101.7 which is good and bad. Bad in that she has an infection, but good b/c when you have a fever, that means your body is fighting off the infection.
I'm getting conflicting information so I don't know what's up. My cousin is telling me that they are looking into transferring her to Colombia Presbyterian in the city, and my aunt is being told by my uncle that that isn't the case....
In any case, she's completely incoherent, and she is in a tremendous amount of pain, she is getting the shivers very badly, and they have been doing tests over and over again and still haven't found out any news as to what is causing the fluid overload in her brain.
They are even entertaining the thought of going back in and doing more surgery on her brain...
Update #3
She is doing better!!!!!!!! 
More fluid has drained w/o them having to go back in and do more surgery, but now she is panicking (to be expected) b/c she is finally able to somewhat comprehend what happened, and what is happening w/the drain still being in her head.
That her recovery stays on this path!
She will have to be in a rehab for a while after she is done w/the hospital to teach her to do norm tasks again, but that's to be expected w/brain surgery.....
