If I had the ability, I'd happily offer you guys crash space. (I've *got* to move out.) I'm glad to hear your mom's doing better. If it's any consolation, a good friend of mine close to her age has had three strokes, including one that left her in an extended coma, and she's almost fully recovered. In fact if you didn't know she'd had them, you would never guess. Strokes are scary, serious things, but with the progress your mom is making, I'd hold lots of hope. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you down here, okay? ::hugs::
