She can talk and all and during the day it's hopeful, (although occasionally she'll say something that shows her grasp of reality is sporadic and not very deep) but at night she sinks back, becomes demanding, can't follow directions etc.

That all sounds very encouraging in terms of her already being able to communicate in the first week - at least in regards to what the possible severity of the stroke actually was. For what it is worth, my own mother had a series of small strokes several years ago and it was quite normal for her to be 'exhausted' by lunchtime or early afternoon during the recovery period which took one full year.

Hang in there and be there for her. Things tend to get magnified when it seems one is surrounded by a myriad of challenges. Loss of capital, economic doom and gloom, war, fear of the unknown all mixed together even before your mother had her stroke would all challenge one's fortitude in the first place. It is easily understood by all of us that the additional worry concerning your mother's health and future is weighing heavily on you at the moment.

Of course, it doesn't pay for me to think too far into the future.

One day at a time.
