How much can I whack?

This is a Kalanchoe blossfeldiana that my mother gave to me to resuscitate. It did well on her front porch, but did not weather the winter well at all. She repotted it in regular potting soil - and there is even evidence of moss growing on the top of the soil. It was also sprayed with Bug-B-Gone for aphids, hence the yellow leaves dropping off.

In her defense, she is now on the upswing after surgery, chemo and radiation. So I guess her plant was not her biggest concern at the time. She usually has lovely plants and garden.

SO --- how far back can I cut this? Can I hard prune a K. blossfeldiana?
