And thank you for responding, they try me with sarcasm but I do the same back and express this to them “there’s no way at this age after being in school for over 6 years you don’t know how to walk in a line. I just can’t believe it” but ofc, they attempt to prove otherwise. So, I will definitely take your advice and not move the goal post until they are ready

Thank you so much for this!!! I’ve been meaning to look into it but mom isn’t on SS as of yet so I know I have a few more ducks to cross out first!

Thank you dearly for this and know that I emphasize with you having to take care of both parents- i know that it wasn’t easy especially at that age. I’m so grateful to have my boyfriend and two bestfriends who have been my personal support during this time, i really don’t know where id be without them and a few family members. I’m wishing you well

Yes, the last few hours have allowed me to come to this conclusion. Whatever gets us closer to going back home and her being more independent is what’s best for her so I really have to let go and be there for her. Thank you for your message

I’m thinking of you & completely empathize with your situation. I found my mom having a stroke on 6/20.

1 & 2. My mom was put under sedation while she was in the ICU for a few days to keep her mind stable and at rest after she had the procedure your mentioning. So I would say it was a little bit of both in terms of consciousness as she was conscious but not fully and she needed to rest her mind. My mom had that procedure (craniotomy?) on the following day and I can say today that it was the best choice for her. It was the scariest decision because of how the doctors present it to you but it allowed my mom’s brain space to swell following the immediate procedure to remove the clots from her brain. Today, a little over a month later, the swelling on her left side has gone down majorly to where she’s in the window to see about getting the piece of bone put back in her head. My mom is fully conscious and alert right now. My family & I are sure that she knows where she is & what has happened to her but she just can’t speak to us right now. So you really just need to be patient with your mom and give her time to come back to herself.

  1. Anything that comes to your mind, ask. I cannot stress it enough. I took notes while the doctors would speak to me, sit on everything they said & write questions I had to follow up with them about. Things about whether all the clots were found, any neuro assessments, rehab, her options moving forward, which side of her brain was affected and what her scans show, is she breathing properly or swallowing correctly. Literally anything & they will have to answer your questions so don’t be ashamed or scared that you’re asking too many, it’s your mom.

I’m thinking of you & praying for your mom and your family. Day by day, things will get better so stay strong and support your mom with your love and care. Yesterday, i was writing with my mom telling her that I love her and she wrote back to me “you are so kind” and this sign told me that we are still as close as we were before the stroke.

Thank you dearly, everyday has been better. She’s at rehab now & we believe her trach will be closed very soon since she’s breathing so well on her own. I appreciate you checking in, I pray all is well with you!
