who passed away last year, so I felt your pain and distress at having something like this happen very personally. I know you have been doing everything possible to help and support her...and then along comes one of the worst hurricanes in history and throws all your best plans off the rails. You are probably already doing this, but even though your mom is not yet responding verbally, keep talking to her as if she can fully understand everything, explaining why she is there and what happened in the most positive and hopeful way possible. She is lucky to have you by her side. We are all pulling for her speedy and full recovery! Lots of good wishes for healing are coming her way.
