Hi Erika,
I'm so sorry to hear about Larry. I had a brain aneursym clipped a year ago this month and have a untreated one behind my right eye on the carotid artery. I spent several months in therapy and slept a lot. Now it's a year out and my ability to focus on more than one thing at a time stinks and my recall is bad, but I am working full time and quite functional. I'll probably always be spacey, but I'm still walking this earth. Brains heal very slowly and you just have to wait (months) to see where you end up. In the hospital I thought that I had to take camel rides with my family to get better. Now I just can't remember names and do things like walk off with other people's shopping carts. My hair also fell out for a short while and my skin was incredibly dry. Hope Larry's headaches get under control soon. Best of luck to you both.
Oh,there is such a thing as a neuro-optomologist. You might want to check to see if there is one in your area.
