My husband is getting better with each day. Each morning you can hear the difference in his speech. He goes to the speech therapist tomorrow again and the testing should improve. He is very lucky.
He is at home now and he had a brain stem stroke and he is not on a ventilator. The doctors are amazed how good he is when he had brain stem stroke.
He is to have a MRA tomorrow morning, a special MRI which only looks at the blood flow in his brain and neck.
He is not bad for someone that died on me while in ER.
He repeats the alphabet and counts to 10 all the time is workings his letters. The difficulty is getting the words to his mouth...there is no connection,
The speech therapist says he is amazed at how well he is doing for being a brain stem stroke.
He is very, VERY lucky that he can walk, talk and even reason he should be dead... he is supposed to be near 100% from what the drs. are saying ... from what he is read on internet he is very lucky.
