Also, doctors will give you the worst picture - they would rarely say that it looks good, thanks to all the legal consequences of saying something nice and making the family feel better. When my brother was in hospital, the docs told me that he could be slow and his abilities affected. But that didn't happen - he got back 100% of his abilities! I pray the same for your brother - I know how hard this is, but keep your strength.

All the best to you and your family.<br /><br />I take it's a good sign that he can wiggle his toes? It is probably very scary for him too - especially if he can hear you, but can't respond like he could before. I don't know if it helps or not, but I had read "My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey" by Jill Bolte Taylor - she is a brain scientist who had a stroke herself and is in recovery, and I remember there is an appendix at the back of that book that helped care givers to communicate with stroke survivors ("Forty Things I Need the Most"). I don't remember all of it, but I googled and one tip that I was thinking of:<br /><br />"Ask me multiple-choice questions. Avoid Yes/No questions" <br /><br />So not sure if it'd help to communicate with your brother this way instead? She had explained in the book why it was easier to answer multiple choice, something about how her thought processes works but I forgot the details. <br /><br />Please take care of yourself too.christa @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-75581541901808820012011-02-14T01:11:33.935-04:002011-02-14T01:11:33.935-04:00So sorry to hear this about your brother.
