Rough day

Today has been one of the toughest days yet. We went to Sue's Speech Therapy appointment. Most of the hour was spent doing word association games to trigger connections in her brain. That was rough, but Sue was able to laugh through it and actually started improving by the end. As we were leaving the therapist asked Sue to write the alphabet. She could not get past "g." She cried, I cried, and eventually the therapist cried. Another bridge crossed. We continue to do work to stabilize her cognitive abilities, but it is heart breaking to see her at this stage. She knows what is happening to her. She sees her abilities leaving her. It's just so cruel.
