Welcome to NT

I'm so sorry you are going through this traumatic time. It's good that you are reaching out for support. There are many caring people here, so please stick around. Look through the forums and post anywhere. There is always a caring soul around every corner.

Here is the link to the Stroke forum. It hasn't been very active as of late, but you can read some of the testimonies of stroke survivors.

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I am sorry your mom suffered a stroke. My mother also did. There is always hope for improvement. Hope you have support at home and that your family stays strong. My son is an OPT and he has seen many stoke patients improve. I will keep your mom in my prayers. I know how hard this can be on a family. Ginnie
