New Su

My mother, Su is 78 year old and lives in Calgary.  My dad died 5 years ago and she has been living on her own since then. I live in Manitoba with my husband and 2 young children.   My younger brother is single and lives in Edmonton.  My older brother lives in Calgary with his wife and their 2 young children.   3 weeks ago Mom had a bad stroke.  Her neighbour found her lying in the garden and called 911.  My mom is in the hospital now but she can’t speak very well and can’t swallow so the nurses feed her through a tube.  She also can’t walk and so they use a mechanical lift to move her to a wheelchair.
My mom, my brothers and I had a meeting with some staff from the hospital and we all agreed that Mom can’t live by herself anymore and so she will have to go to a long term care home where there are people who can look after her.
