when a person remain in bed or suffer infarct in brain, he or she may loose bone density quickly. Specially if She is also bed ridden. I would advice you to check her bone density through BMD test if you have not done it already. If She is not taking calcium and vitamin D, than start now. Alendronates are other group of medication which can help. Zolandronate can be given to her once in a dose after consultation with her physician.
