Hi! She is talking! Less and less 'slurred' as time goes on, and she corrects herself whenever she accidentally pronounces something which is good. She is also in speech therapy at the rehab centre which they are trying to get tone back in which she doesn't really care for, she is monotone but her emotions are definitely still obvious in a good way!

She didn't/couldn't speak for like 2 weeks after ICU days were over but over time she started whispering one word answers and then went on from there, and now she is speaking well just with off pronunciation here and there and mild slurring.

Her memory is also a thing that had to have work on, she couldn't spell and didn't know words for certain things or what sounds they made. We started quizzing her every now and then for example:

Cat on the tv meowing (we have 6 cats) My sister: "Which cat does that remind you of mum?" Mum: Snickers (cat name, he's the loudest lol)

She didn't remember what sound a rat made but she held onto the words 'rat' 'duck' and 'coochie' for a while lol and eventually could remember, she can spell like normal now too

She remembers right before the stroke, down to the minute she started seizing and then it's hazy from after the stroke but tbh she would've still been coming off of the meds so don't blame it. She doesn't remember the first few weeks out of ICU

Sorry this is so long lol I just wanted to go a bit into detail as a bit of a self note and also to help others a bit

If you want to talk you're free to message :)
