Good luck, Sherry. I'm where you are, only with my mil, it was heart attack followed by complications. We're still back and forth to the hospital (she's been there a week this time, and I'll be going up to stay with her in an hour or so).
Don't forget to take care of YOU, and that does include finding time to get a ride in now and then. You'll need to burn off the tension and blow out the cobwebs!
(hugs!)

Ditto. And you'll also need to stay in shape. Caring for an adult after a stroke is hard work physically as well as emotionally. Getting a few miles in now and then to stretch out, warm up, limber up, etc. can be helpful. But don't let me scare you off from taking on the job. It's also time well spent. Good luck to all three of you. Oh, and take heart! Strokes that get immediate care now have far better prognoses than they used to; hospital staff have learned what to do in those first few minutes and hours to minimize damage and what to do from then on to speed recovery.

My best friend just went through this with his mother. At first things looked bleak and he was quite depressed. But after some time and physical he is so much better. She can now walk (with a walker) and get about. Her speech is better and she can use her hands. Her future looks good.
I pray that He keep you and your family healthy and well to help care for your mother. I pray also that the good Lord watch over your mother and help her heal.
Take care.BCIpam - Nature Girl
