Clinical narrative: Awakened at 6am extremely nauseous, dizzy and weak. in am hour her right arm and leg became limp and her speech was slurred. She could not stand or sit and just toppled over on the bed. Rushed by ambulance to hospital. (note attached)--My mother went into the hospital on 09/27/2002 and was diagnosed with pneumonia and bronchial infection. After 2 weeks i was told by the lung doctor, that it was cleared up, so she was released from the hospital. Her private MD suggested she go to rehab for some physical therapy. She left the hospital on 10/11/2002, and went to rehab. She did great and was very active. While there, with her doctor's permission, they gave her the flu shot on 10/18/2002 and the pneumonia shot on 10/21/2002. On 10/22/2002 she came home, and had a stroke on 10/25/2002. She died in the hospital on 11/15/2002, gasping for breath. Her blood pressure was normal during both her hospital stays and rehab. During her 3 days back home, she was active and fortunately well. What concerns me in that the pneumonia vaccine may have been given too close to the flu vaccine. (3 days). Also, when she went back to the hospital with the stroke, they said she still had some pneumonia. Maybe she shouldn't have been given the vaccine if she still had some pneumonia. Also, at this time her blood sugar went out of control reaching between 300-400, without food. i know my mother was old with several conditions. but everyone sent her home with a clean bill of health and much hope, not to have a stroke after 3 days. I was her caregiver, but she was also very independent. Her mind was still functioning very well until the end. Not being able to speak fluently or walk or eat and having strangers change her really broke her spirit and broke my heart.  We were very close. I loved and needed her very much, and she loved me so much. She didn't want that vaccine, but with her doctor's permission, I encouraged her to take it. That's why these questions are haunting me.
