Have you Known anyone who has had a Stroke?

I am just curious how are they doing? My mom had 2 Massive Strokes last year and Passed away...So i am just seeing if you know anyone who has had a Stroke and lived? Or passed away?
Hi,
I am so sorry about your loss. My dad (63 yrs) suffered a massive stroke. Although he suffered paralysis of the left side and other confusion issues, he was doing pretty well with PT in rehab when about a month into it he suffered kidney failure. For 6 weeks or so he's was in the hospital due to the kidney issues and other problems that have occurred as a result - minor Heart attack, eating problems etc. Since being in the hospital, he's had really bad days and somewhat better days with one problem after another. He hasn't eaten since he arrived at the hosp - they inserted a Jtube and then had problems with the absorption of the feed .. he's now on a minimal feeding (10 ml/hr) and they think he has 'swallowing issues' due to the stroke -

He was able to swallow post-stroke , not sure what the problems are now ? They seem to have given up and say he will be discharged in the near future to a Nursing Home and there's no chance of further stroke recovery. That seems a bit harsh to me as he's only 3 months post stroke and hasn't lost any of the 'progress' that he gained when in rehab originally. I want to be hopeful but then lose hope and get depressed. We encourage him when we're there and talk about rehab and coming home etc but deep down we wonder if he'll ever leave the hospital. At this point we're concerned he's going to succumb to malnutrition issues !! He's falling apart before our eyes and we don't know what to do about it. It's sad to say but in some ways I wish he was at peace and didn't have to go through this. Its painful to see the look in his eyes.
