Statement by Dr. Lisa Bardack, Mt. Kisco Medical Group, and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi, George Washington University
In the course of a routine follow-up MRI on Sunday, the scan revealed that a right transverse sinus venous thrombosis had formed. This is a clot in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage. To help dissolve this clot, her medical team began treating the Secretary with blood thinners. She will be released once the medication dose has been established. In all other aspects of her recovery, the Secretary is making excellent progress and we are confident she will make a full recovery. She is in good spirits, engaging with her doctors, her family, and her staff.
Her dear friend, Lynn Forester de Rothschild blogged this lovely idea at HuffPo.
18 Million Prayers for Hillary
My mailbox was lit up this morning with messages of worry and concern and love for our Secretary of State. It made me dream that perhaps as a nation, as a world, we could all say a little prayer for the safe and speedy recovery of Hillary Clinton.
For so many years, and in so many ways, she has touched our hearts and changed our lives. Maybe now we can come together to say a prayer that will bring her back to good health.
We are praying for her and for her family while remembering this lovely moment from four years ago. We are hoping to see her return to her bubbly self soon.
Meanwhile, for the 17th time in 20 years, Gallup has named her the most admired woman.
More prayers and more candles… http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=hrc
