Haven't read this in several days. Glad to hear she's at least holding her own after this severe shock to the system. Strokes, while bad, are recoverable in many cases, (as I'm sure the docs have told you), so let's hope she is able to gain as close to a full recovery from this as possible. My grandmother went thru several of them in her waning years, some minor, others not so minor, but she did manage to maintain most of her faculties and abilities.
It's tough getting old and watching your elder family members go thru this kind of stuff. I know first hand. Both my wife's parents are gone, as are both of mine. WE are now the "old folks" in the family.
My best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to her, Dave.
