Stroke n dialysis?

Hi my mother 88 yrs old had a massive stroke exactly two weeks ago paralysis on right. Cannot swallow or talk so she us on the feeding tube. Left is still very strong.she has end stage renal and dialysis 3 times a week for 5 yrs also has A-fib w pace maker. Right now she is conscious of her surrounding and her mind is still good. She does recognize people and respond w a yes or no when ask questions. My problem is that the hospital is trying to get rid of her because they say she us not getting better. But to me she is getting better. The dialysis center will not take her anymore because of her condition. She is unable to talk and sit in her own. Is it true that thus is the end of her life? If we take her home w/o dialysis she will die in 8 days. Please tell me there is something that we can do.

This is so terrible talk to a social worker. I don't understand how they can just throw her out without life saving measures.  Often times the elderly are just thrown away. I'm praying ernestly for your situation.  Never give up and trust in the Lord for he hears and answer prayers
