Hello Everyone - I'm so glad to have found this community because I have no one else to talk to about my mom's situation. Mom had an aneurysm in her right frontal lobe on 5/16. Her aneurysm was coiled that same day. We have been told that she had a couple of very small strokes over the next several days. She was transferred out of ICU 2 days ago. At this point, she does not speak and she has a lot of weakness / little movement on her left side. I've been told repeatedly by the nurses and the doctors that this is going to be a very long recovery process, but its still hard to see such little progress day by day. It has now been 16 days since her aneurysm surgery and she is still sleepy all the time. She seems to only be alert and have her eyes open for a few minutes at a time. I am wondering if this is normal and if it will just take time for her to be more alert?
