Mild Stroke

My mom had a mild ischemic stroke last week on Wednesday. Her only symptom that she was having one was that one side of her face was drooping and she said she felt weird and confused. Things aren’t nearly as bad as they could be. She can still walk fine and she can understand speech. It takes her a little longer to respond to things but it’s not terrible. Can put her sentences together but it just takes a little longer to get them out. It was most likely caused by her high cholesterol and high sugar diet so we have been making big changes to how she’s eating and introducing more walking into her routine. She’s been awfully tired over the last week and she randomly threw up this morning. She has no other side effects besides that. No headache, no numbness or tingling, no lightheadedness and her BP and blood sugar are normal. Is this anything to be worried about? Overall, it seems like she could very well make a full recovery. I just hate seeing her in this condition because she’s normally very strong and independent and this has weakened her so much. What can I expect over the next few months as she recovers? I feel awful because she’s in Iowa and I’m in New York and I can’t be here 24/7 for her. I’ve gone to bed every night over the last week worrying that I’ll wake up and she won’t be with us anymore.
