@ Mtublack,
I am told the occupational therapy dept in GGCH has a room they use. It may pay to visit this place and see what they use to encourage movement in the arm that is affected.

Hemiplegia suggests that one leg is affected too. In that case, you can also see how they handle this.

Lastly, since the OT sessions are quite expensive in the mainsteam hospitals, some of the OT's may be willing to come home and do therapy. With time you will learn what to do and then only go for occasional treatment. I hope that helps.
....above all, to stand.
