What treatment should be given to bedridden post-stroke patient?

I am so sorry to hear about your father. I am sure that you will hear from others here about their experience and ideas that may help you care for him.

Ask him a question and watch his eyes. Try range of motions on him. Don't give up on him.

Would ask about some therapy -- physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

@winterfox I've tried not to give up on him. I'll speak with him everyday.. thank you

@gravity3 thank you so much for your support..

@grrranny thank you. I'll go see doctor again to seek for therapy

Since you have made it to mayoconnect. Look up their website and check symptoms and conditions. Are you able to do a virtual visit with a physician in the US. ? Just a thought.

My husband had a stroke in December of 2024. He is 84 years old and had been progressively " tired" for several years. He was found to have 90% coronary artery blockage and referred to cardiac care for Stent placement. Alas, the anatomy of the cardiac vessels were unable to be stented. The risk was too great for the desired benefit. An open heart bypass surgery was scheduled. However, a week before the surgery he had a large stroke and was airlifted to a trauma center nearby for stroke intervention. The clot and blood removed was very large and discouraging for quality recovery. Yet, to the surprise of the medical team, his speech remained intact and his overall intellect brain function was uneffected. His name is Pete. While his right sided weakness did require rehabilitation and that remains the same. The heart bypass surgery is no longer an option. How much improvement is possible remains unknown. We live in a small upstairs apartment. I''m 83 and in good health for my age and drive, cook, do everything keeping house without assistance. Pete can walk with his rollator walker. I assist him in dressing and maintaining hygiene. Our children live far away and have demanding lives so they stay in touch but are unable to visit or otherwise help caring for Pete. I can drive us to appointments, etc. He will unlikely be able to drive again. I feel overwhelmed handleling everything and being confined with Pete at home 24/7 other than grocery shopping, appointments, etc.

Do you have any home healthcare nursing assistance? Can you have someone stay with Pete for a few hours a week while you get out of the house? Maybe you can talk to his doctor about options.

Hi,
I'm so sorry to hear about your father's condition. That must be very hard for him and for you. Give him lots of love and caring. Tell him what your day has been like or recall a nice time you had with him when you were younger. Hold his hand or hug him. All of this helps him to feel loved and probably not so frightened like anyone would be in that kind of situation. The suggestion about doing a virtual appointment with the Mayo Clinic is a good one. They are an excellent hospital. If you don't know how to do a virtual appointment from your computer, just ask one of the moderators on here. I'm sure they could tell you how to do that or would know someone who could help you with that. I can't because I've never done it before.

One thing that you can do that will help your Father is to pray to God and ask him to help your Father. God made your Father and he can fix him. God is always there for us. You don't need to go to church to find God although church can be very nice. Just talk to God like he's your best friend and he is! You also don't have to be a believer in God to ask for his help. God made everyone and he will help anyone who asks for his help. I'm 79 and have needed God's help a lot since my husband died. God has always been there for me and answered my prayers. I will say a prayer for your Father and for you. Keep in touch and let us know how things are going. I wish you both the best.
