question: My mother had a stroke 2 weeks ago. She can not speak yet due to a ventilator. She sometimes understands me, yet, I have to repeat myself several times for a response. She had a hemorrhage on the right side of her brain stem. Now in recovery, I can see her head "twitching". If I hold her head it stops and it does not alter her heart rate or blood pressure so a seizure was ruled out. Why is she twitching?
