Welcome

This blog is my account of my father's Wernickes stroke, also called a 'cerebral vascular accident' or in my father's case, an "ischemic stroke". I hope that my blog helps or gives some insight to this terrible event. I will post links as I come across them to give more information or give direction for help if anyone is interested.

Door Opens, Then Slams Shut

September 23. The last week has been interesting. On one day dad can speak some numbers, 1-6. Identifies a few pictures, cup, toilet, pen. The next day, nothing.
  Speech appointment today. Therapist says there is a little progress. Dad seemed to be receptive to gesturing, like sign language. He actually was mimicking the therapist. But she said that I could work on just simple things at first.
