[quote=Anonymous]My mother had first stroke last year and I am saying first because there was 65% chance first stroke leads to second. My mother was healthy and 79. 
   We were allowed to spend the night and I did first night but not next one. Then next 2 did.. Hospital was very short staffed. They would bring tray and leave it. She was notopening her eyes. I could not believe that but I swear. They moved her to new room because a machine didn’t work and didn’t even realize they had not brought her dinner. The staff was nice but definitely important I was there to watch. The second time I spent night, the  nurses come in once between dinner and midnight. My mother woke up and tore all her cords and lines out including her IV.  
  Just saying she needed an advocate.
   On day 6 after some progress- she passed. Still not sure what happened. But yea a stroke is unpredictable. My sister was there with me the second day. She stayed and we took shifts. She left on day 6- then my mom passed. No connection.
  We feel lucky we were with her but I can say we never predicted that outcome. We both work but went by her side with almost round the clock.
