Update on Granny's Condition

Things has been rather gloomy lately. My granny has just been discharged from the hospital. From her CT Scan, doc observed quite a major stroke. No wonder her health seems to be deteriorating so badly with each passing day.
Was back in Kluang over the weekend. She seems so frail. She is totally unable to walk and need to be wheelchaired from room to living hall or to the toilet. She is only able to make very vague and simple hand gesture. She totally lost her ability to talk and swallow. She is currently being fed with high nutrient milk thru a nasal gastric tube every 3 hours. Same goes for her medications.
Mom is particularly stressed up with her new role as a caregiver. Besides the financial issue (cause she is currently not able to run her stall), she constantly have to keep an eye on granny to ensure she is ok and comfortable or to carry her whenever she want to move around. It's not easy cause granny is totally slump most of the time (zero energy). She would even dozed off while being showered and move about. That's how bad it is.
I just feel sorry for all these things that my mom have to go thru. Just hope she would hang in there for awhile and in time to come, things will be better.

When was she not able to walk and talk?

Were you able to understand her hand gesture?

I pray that she is good well. I feel so bad ... can't do anything.
