My mother just had a stroke and she's still in ICU this just happened Oct. 22, 2011 I'm so scared I don't know what to do. The doctors are very doom and gloom about it. She laid there for more than 3 hours for sure. What do I do?

When I had my stroke, I was only 3 and they didn't know what was happening. I was in the hospital for 3 months. In coma for 2 weeks. Doctors told my mother that I would probably be a vegatable and in a wheelchair the rest of my life. They were wrong. I'm now 19
