I read your question carefully and I am sorry about your grandmother.
Unfortunately there is no specific medication to reverse the consequences of stroke. A brain area is irreparably damaged after a stroke. There is improvement but that depends on how extended the damage was in the first place and from the ability of the uninvolved brain to compensate for the damaged one. Improvement takes place over several months so you should keep hope during the first 6 months. The best aid to her recovery is physiotherapy, it is more important than any medication.
In the meanwhile the doctors should run tests and prescribe medication to prevent another stroke from happening in the future. That usually consists in blood thinners and medication to address issues like heart arrhythmia, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol etc. They serve to prevent another stroke though, do not affect the current one.
I hope to have been of help
