Suggest Treatment For Subdural Hematoma, Dizziness And Nausea

Assuming he recovers well with no infection etc. the Dr. said he could be released from the hospital as early as Monday. If that is the case do you think he would have restrictions regarding transatlantic flight? If so how long would they advise against that? I'm sure he is getting quality care, but we'd still like to get him home as soon as possible without risking aggravating his condition/recovery.

Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern. Norway has a top notch healthcare system and almost everybody speaks good English, but I imagine how awful it must feel to get sick in a foreign country and the desire to be back home as soon as possible.
Generally especially for a long flight it is recommended to wait before a flight, the usual figure is about 4 weeks. However that is not cut in stone, it depends also on each patient's case and evolution after surgery. If surgery went well, he is up and moving around and a control CT scan shows no rebleeding then that time can be shortened. But at least 7 days after surgery are a minimum time to wait though.
Of course it goes without saying that your mother should ask this question to his treating doctor as well.
I remain at your disposal for further questions.
