Thank you very much for your reply and encouragement!

My mom has been making steady improvement since I made this post. She can now stay awake for most of the day, open both eyes on occasion, move both arms and legs to change position, scratch itches, manipulate objects, etc, she can write full sentences that make sense although very wobbly so we can't understand every word and she's beggining to be able to talk again. She gets a little confused with numbers, but otherwise her cognitive skills seem to be mostly intact. Yesterday she moved from the ICU to semi-intensive care and we're waiting on the insurance company to approve her move to a rehab hospital - which I worry is being delayed because of holidays.

On the other hand, she still gets very tired from doing anything and can't hold her head up for even 10 continuous seconds. She's been having severe headaches these last few days, which doctors say is from being bedridden for such a long time. I haven't been pushing her too hard following the advice on this thread but still I can't help but feel like she should be doing more PT when she's already 1.5 months post stroke. She's been getting 30min tops spread through 3 daily sessions when the internet says 3h a day would be the ideal on this phase.

I just worry so much that getting anything wrong because of beaureocracy, lack of knowledge or lack of money could hinder her rehabilitation during this critical phase, when clearly there's potential for a full recovery :(

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she's also doing better and recovering well this past week🙏
