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.
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.
