Because of stroke may she is having pain in the affected limb. Need physical therapy or compression device to prevent deep vein thrombosis.
Her pharyngeal reflux not good that's why they're feeding through tube which may prevent aspiration.
Her prognosis depends on age, type of infraction bleed, size of infract etc.
Please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
