Sorry to hear about your mother's condition, but it sounds like she is one of the fortunate ones.
The first person you should consult with is her Cardiologist at the hospital.
Things you have to pay special attention on and to ask her doctor:
- her present condition after her treatment at the hospital and what physiotherapy she has to undergo,if any
- make sure she takes her medication when requuired
- her dietary dos and don'ts
- her weight problem, is she is overweight
- make sure she does her scheduled follow-up consultation with her cardiologist etc
and most of her, provide her with good family mental support

talk to her keep her company. When my grandpa came home after his stroke we were told to exercise his hands and arm and leg several times a day to keep the muscles from shrinking. We rubbed lotion and would straighten his fingers out and the curl them up over and over then we would do his arm bend and straitghten 10 time then the same with his leg. we also tried to rotate his ankle a few times. The doctor said this would also help teach his nerves how to work again. As for the speech if she cant talk now create a way for her to communitate whether it be writing notes or using a computer . Remind her that it takes time to heal and that you are there to help her and love her no matter what. It took him almost 5 years to walk again but he did learn to walk again so have faith
