Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I appreciate your concern for your mother.
If your mother is opening her eyes but appears to be unconscious otherwise with no other movement, she is in a ' Locked In Syndrome' which has happened after the brain hemorrhage. Diabetes is a disease that damages blood vessels and her Parkinsonism which has started recently is related to the same. The prognosis in her case would not only be related to the recovery of her brain but also to avoidance of complications like pneumonia and bed sores which she is at risk of developing.
I hope your mother would recover with good nursing and supportive measures.
