mam was admitted to hospital on Friday night after becoming unresponsive in the home. Diagnosed UTI & hypo delirium.
She seems to be slowly improving, eg tonight when we visited she had her eyes open and managed to eat a little, but my biggest worry is she still hasn’t spoken, not since Fri night. She makes the odd attempt but nothing comes out.
Before this she was full of chat, indeed other visitors often thought she was herself a visitor rather than a resident as she would chat with them.
I realise it’s early days, but I’m curious to know if anyone has any experience or knowledge of this & the likelihood of her speech returning.
Thanks x
