I haven't had the problems that you are experiencing, but know you must be so frustrated. Do you have any agencies in your area that can offer help? What about at therapy? - have you expressed your needs there? they may have some answers for you. Also, the National Aphasia Assoc. is: http://www.aphasia.org they may have help and suggestions for you. My husband has aphasia -- I know what you are going thru. Hopefully your sister will experience lots of improvement real soon. She is lucky to have you!
