My 81-year-old mother suddenly suffered from geriatric brain atrophy and acute cerebral infarction on her right that left her unable to eat on her own, speak, and even to recognize people. After a week in the hospital and many tests later, the doctor suggested taking my mother home to recuperate, as there was no other treatment plan they could offer. Out of desperation, I made the light offering and prayed to Buddha for blessings. A miracle happened! In just one month, my mother was able to take care of herself. When she returned to the hospital for a checkup, the doctors were amazed by her incredible recovery!
