For weeks I have been battling with the fact that I get no response from my OH in his care home. I have been hoping that because he stares at me he is connecting in some small way and that he knows I am there with him although I have been reduced to tears many times. But yesterday on my visit he was completely different. He actually spoke to me several times. Just two or three words at a time but clearly. Saying hallo when I arrived and smiled at me four times too. I couldn’t believe it! And when I stood up to leave he told me to sit down! Which obviously I did . He was obviously having a very lucid day but It does go to show how much they are still there even though you get no feed back. I’m not unrealistic to expect a day like that on every visit but that one day was amazing.
