The radiologists reviewed the MRIs and they now think that it doesn't appear that she has too much cerebral spinal fluid. Sunday they thought that was a subdural hematoma (small bleed in between the brain and skull). They now think that the vessels that take the blood away from the brain are clogged with a clot. They think that Aimee was not drinking enough water recently and the dehydration caused the blood to thicken in those vessels. This means that there is plenty of blood going into the brain, but it's having a hard time leaving which again is causing pressure.
Their plan is to keep her on iv fluids and get her really hydrated and possibly start some blood thinners tomorrow. They aren't planning on doing a spinal tap at this point, but that could change.
