there is a formation of clot and that has caused death of brain cells so to compensate the bp has gone high. once there is death of the brain cells she will not recover from function of the lost portion completely. anyways she will recover from the acute episode in a month time and what ever she will recover that will happen within 6 months time. there is notheing to do with the clot now, only thing you should see is there is no such development of the clot again.
