marie559: Pose this question to her urologist. Once the U.T.I. has cleared, she could perhaps take prescription Myrbetriq and OTC cranberry tabs. At 77, once I had two back-to-back U.T.I.s, I went on this course of treatment without reoccurence. Also, be sure to use no bubble bath products.

Seizures are quite common after someone has had a stroke, as they're often caused by the scar tissue in the brain from the stroke. Make sure her neurologist is getting her on the right seizure medications to help with them.
My late husband had gran mal seizures after his stroke and ended up on very high doses of 3 different seizure medications to get them under control.
Now UTI's however are not common with stroke, so either your mom's not drinking enough, or perhaps she's not being cleaned properly after she pees or poops.
A lot of women swear that the product D Mannose works wonders to keep UTI's at bay so you may want to talk to her doctor about that.
Your mom is so young at 59, to be dealing with all this. Hopefully she is in a great facility and getting the help she needs to be getting some better. Help keep her motivated as with PT, OT and speech therapy she should be able to regain some of what she lost.
