[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother had a stroke, precovid, in her late 60s.  I drove up to be with her, but then my local brother did not and went to work.  (I'm the breadwinner in my mom and have two children at home).  Guess what?  I totally understood!  I was there!  He would have additional duties once I left.

I agree that it is important to have someone in the hospital with a patient who has suffered a brain injury.  But those rooms are crowded, I don't think it's very beneficial to have everyone sitting around burning leave to hold vigil in the ICU.  We had a 2 person limit, precovid.  Many stroke patients need assistance and time after the hospital stay, and it's good to make people are thinking of that time period too.[/quote]

I wouldn't at all expect my BIL to visit if something happened - and he's a doctor! Nor vice versa. We are all several states away, I'd expect that whoever was closest would take the first round keep everyone posted, and depending on how it went, if it seemed like a turn for the worst, or a discharge home with help required, then we'd talk about what's needed.[/quote]
