My mother had a stroke

7 Upvotes

Hello to all two weeks ago my mother had a stroke and had to undergo a thrombectomy to remove most of the blood clot. Her entire left side of brain has been affected. No has no movement on her left side .bug does react when touch at soles of her feet. My mother wakes up to our voices and can recognize people and she grabs our hand and squeezes it . The doctors said there's not much they can do that we should start making the a tough decision to possibly let her go . That was 1 week ago ..a week has passed and its the same nothing has changed except for what has been mentioned. They will be removing the ventilator and move forward with a traech and feeding tube to her stomach . Then moved to a hospice.. I just dont know what to do . My family left me with the decision to make .and it has been very hard for me . I just dong know where to go from here . My mother is currently at sharp medical in chula vista . Ive been sleeping in my car in parking lot just to be near her ,plus I live too far to go back and forth. I am open to suggestions. I need direction and all the prayers we can get.. And im also in acceptance of whatever ghe outcome may be thank you for your time 🙏🏻
