Speech and Vision

Yesterday Mom had speech therapy. She did pretty well, the therapist said that she was 100% better than last week in the hospital. She will continue to have speech therapy for a while. She has a hard time with recall; knowing the right word to use when she's talking. But she talks a ton, so that will help. Mom is being really positive, I haven't seen her be more than mildly frustrated, and that is mostly with not being able to remember the right word or see something. She still has her sense of humor. :) She says that she is "starving" all the time and always "freezing".

She also had a visit with an optometrist. He did a field test of her range of vision, and she has lost half of her vision on both eyes. If the eye is a pie, the right half is gone. This mostly affects her right eye, and it has been frustrating for her. She is getting some prescription glasses to help her see better as far as distance that has a blue/grey tint to help calm things down vision-wise. We hope to get her classes tomorrow.
