Thanksgiving

After having a Thanksgiving brunch attended by Anicia's brothers and sisters (jimvi, sharon, carla, buddha, jay, connie and sixto) and their respective family members, Anicia's mom and auntie Millete, Anicia's daughters Rachel & Megan, Roger & son Kalanz, cousin Terry and a number of their friends the entire group headed to the hospital to visit Anicia around 1:00 pm.



The entire family met and were updated by the attending doctor on her condition:



1. They are still unsure what caused her condition. They say it is not a brain aneurysm and could not say for certain if it's due to hypertension. It is not their priority right now, what is most important is to get her well as best they can. They can deal with the cause at a later date.



2. She is better than she was two days ago but the situation is always in flux.



3. She is heavily sedated to help with the healing and swelling. That is the reason why she is still not conscious or have "waken" up.



4. She has early stages of pneumonia but they say this type of infection is expected as with other secondary infection that may occur due to her condition. They are not too concerned.



5. The doctor said that Anicia has suffered a massive bleeding on the left side of the brain (as to the cause they do not know - See note 1). They are unsure of the extent any damage would be but her age is a big plus in her recovery though she will eventually need rehab. Every individual is different but she is young and strong willed. We are all hopeful.



Please keep up with your prayers for Anicia's "full and speedy recovery".



Last of the family members went home at 5:30 pm - Thanksgiving day.
