Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is unfortunate that your mother suffered a major brain
stroke (haemorrhage), resulting in damage to several parts of brain. Some degree of
brain injury is permanent, however, some improvement would occur. Detailed neurological examination, along with tests like EEG and PET scan can help us diagnose her current status, whether she is conscious or in vegetative state. In any case, one has to continue supportive care and wait and watch for any recovery.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
