My mother (95) had a stroke this morning about 5 AM local.  The doctor reported this morning that she was unconscious and non-responsive on the left side.  I just talked to the nurse's station and she has improved a bit.  Semi-conscious and can move her left side, though she favors the right.

Best of luck with a successful recovery, and a few more good years.

She sounds like one tough cookie to have come through all this at age 95. More power to her!

Sometimes "no change" is the best we can hope for.

Sorry to hear about this, mate.

Things are not looking good.  I talked to her doctor today.  He referred to the stroke as "massive", and thinks there is little chance of recovery.

Right now, we are doing pain management and letting nature take its course.  Tough decision, but I don't see a realistic alternative.

My mother passed away at 5:10 PM (CDT).  She went very quietly, and didn't seem to be in any discomfort.

I thank everyone for your thought and prayers.  While this is not a surprise, I must say it is still a tough thing to go through.
