Middle-aged daughter had stroke March 4 which has left her with aphasia, as well as useless right arm and hand. Unable to walk at present, but should get at least a portion of that back with rehab.

I find the aphasia more disturbing and frustrating for her. She understands what is spoken to her and responds as best she can, in one-or two-word answers - yes, no, okay, I don't know- but can't reply to open-ended questions, etc.
She is also taking treatment for a kidney disease, so meds have to be finely balanced.

Thanks in advance for your response.
