Good luck to you both. It's good luck for your mom that she was looking well last night.

After 24 hours most strokes are as bad as they will get. It's improvement from then on.

Frustration frequently accompanies recovery from a stroke. Expressive aphasia can be mind bending. The sudden realization that a once simple physical action now takes twenty minutes to complete can ruin a large part of the day.

Patience, remembering that I would most likely improve, and learning to live in a different body helped me.

Good luck.
