It seems that the hospital is quick to let patients die. My sister had a stroke and swelling on the brain and part of her skull removed. Within two days the doctors were telling the family that she would be a vegetable and maybe sit in a chair and drool. I am happy to say that only 4 months later she has her skull replaced and is taking therapy to walk. She has feeling in her left leg and feeling in part of her left arm. She is actually more quick wit than before. She does have a few quirks. But from a vegetable to a laughing and loving person, the quirks are minor. Everyday brings new hope and recovery.
