My 76 year old mom had a stroke yesterday and can't see at all. I wonder if there is any chance some of her sight could return? She can talk and knows I am there. She also has problems moving the right extremities.
As the immediate swelling and inflammation subside, she should regain some vision. Some stroke patients do appear to have 100 percent recovery. And many regain a great deal of their abilities. If the "stroke" is stabilized, and there is no further bleeding or clotting I would remain optimistic. Continue with her medications and physical therapy.
