Came back to life: You don't say how old your mother is, or how many other medical problems she may have. With mother's day looming please enjoy her present "back to this life" status.

Possibly: Depends on many factors. Make sure to offer support-including diet, supervision, close attention to medications and potential side effects, enough but not too much mental stimulation and exercise. A consultation psychiatrist can be very helpful.
