@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?

Thank you for the tag @merpreb, There is another older discussion that has new posts from October that @kiastar may find helpful. @IndianaScott also may have some tips or suggestions to share.

She’s sepsis and unresponsive we are waiting to hear from the doctor. Only person that can see her in the hospital is one of her daughters; Sandys husband. We cant come visit her at her house because of Covid
