They’re not sure what caused the stroke. She’s back in the hospital today with possible pneumonia ,doing another CT scan..Can’t really hold a conversation with her because of her stroke (ca) shes not understanding some things. She didn’t recognize our mom the other day. Her husband says he’s had to feed her and clean her up after going to the bathroom. I just feel sick

@kiastar- I know that this is devastating for you, I can actually feel it. It's like seeing a different person that looks like your sister yet isn't her. Are you able to visit? I hadn't realized that her stroke was that severe. Perhaps when she is discharged someone to help her husband with her daily showers and home care would help? It must be so undignifying for your sister.
What do you think you could do to help your sister? There are many things that you can do to help her be more comfortable after she comes home from the hospital. Here is some information that might be of interest to you.

I am hoping that a couple of my mentor friends will pitch in here if you have any questions about strokes

Connect has a group that discusses strokes. At this time you might want to read a few discussions to help you understand a bit better. Do you know the exact type of stroke that she had?
