Well I got Suzie to talk to me a little bit yesterday. The nurses where surprised I understood her and that she spoke to me, but I've known her since I was young and I grew up talking to a man who had advanced Parkinson's which can make clear speech impossible. In short I'm good a deciphering.
I asked the nurse to tell her that we are going to be in LA for a day then we will be right back. I've told her myself but the chances of her remembering as time progresses are slim, not to mention she has no way to mark time. But the nurse is good and will tell her every so often that we will be back shortly. So she will know that we will be back.
One problem is the nurses keep putting the TV on the Spanish channel. We explained that Spanish is to similar to Italian and that they where making it harder for Suzie to think and talk. Hearing a language that is similar to but not the same as her native language is making it much harder for Suzie to think and talk as she fades away. ( her problem is strokes so brain function is effected)
anyway....
