Today they may be sending her to HeatherHill for rehabilitation. It seems to be a very nice facility from whats on the website. My sister will need lots of support in the future to help her to overcome this situation. She has a 4 month old daughter at home who will be eagerly awaiting for her to return. As a family member of a stroke patient I find it very difficult to accept, which I am sure is nothing compared to the reality my sister is facing each waking moment.
Doctors sound hopeful but nothing is for sure.
Her stroke occurred on the right side of her brain which affects her every day functioning. The physical damage is not too bad, she cannot use her left arm but we are thankful that her left leg is working fine. There are many decissions which have to made and trying to be a part of these decissions some makes us feel useful and helpful in a small way. Soon I hope my sister will be able to sit down and send out a response of how she is a survivor of a stroke. She has a family who loves her very much and will be there to help in whatever way possible.
