Done Craniotomy After Hemorrhagic Stroke. Fluid Settling. CT Scan Suggested. Any Ideas?

My grandfather recently had a craniotomy due to the results of a hemorrhagic stroke. The bone flap is still out and he is improving everyday with lots of therapy. The surgeon had said that when the swelling goes down they will replace the bone but he recently went to see the surgeon and he stated that there is still alot of fluid settling and he wanted to do a CTscan to see what exactly the fluid was. We haven't heard back yet? Any ideas?

Hi, it might be the infection of dura or C.S.F.might be handeled very carefully, and in I.C.U.
At this movement everything is uncertain, and mostly depend upon the luck. Any how main thing is you should not disclose the things to him. I hope that he may recover soon. Thank you.
