Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. You know something Becks, that is TOTALLY how I felt even though they told us she had no chance - that she was IN there but couldn't find a way to let us know. I could see it in her eyes. I kept saying, she is still there but the doctors told us that "The part that makes your mom your mom is gone." I'm so glad that they were WRONG!!
She woke up after 8 days to my cell phone going off with "Breakin' The Law"! She lifted her hand and I took it and she put it on her chest and looked at me. I knew that she recognized me, even though the docs said she didn't. So yes, PRIEST is excellent therapy - even for my mom!! It's so funny to me how my parents know me by that one song - every time I mention Judas Priest, my 81 year old father starts singing, "Breakin' the Law, Breakin' the Law!" Cracks me right up!
Hugs to all!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, HRMG  It sounds like she is doing alright though, especially considering you've been told she won't do something, then she can. I watched Oprah once (usually blegh!) and it had a lady on there who'd had a massive stroke - she said the thing people need to remember which people who've had strokes is, I'm in here, come and find me. I hope she keeps coming along well, keep us posted on her progress! And I agree, Priest is FANTASTIC therapy! hehehe!

My mom had a large stroke the beginning of June. I was running back and forth to the hospital for the first 10 days. We didn't think she was going to make it. The doctors told us that she was gone even if she did wake up again. Something told me that they were wrong.... Then 8 days later, she woke up and tried to talk!! She is able to swallow (something they said she would NOT be able to do), so she is able to eat. She is trying to talk, but the words aren't coming quite yet. They are starting therapy and we are hoping for the best.
Just taking it day by day and staying positive. Listening to Priest on the way to and from the hospital helps me through. Only 3 weeks until we see them in Cleveland and Detroit and then FRONT ROW in Cincinnati!! - God I can't wait!!
