My sister-in-law who is 37 suffered a ruptured brain anyersym on 12/13. She was not a candidate for the coiling procedure so had to have fully invasive procedure to clip it - it was in the area of the Cirlce of Willis.

Before and after that 8 hour surgery, she suffered strong vassal spasms.

She is now at a rehab center and after inintial evaluation they believe that due to the vassal spasms she will have long term effects of speech, balance and thought process.

My quesiton is, for those that have been through this, what can we, as her family, do for her? I talking about things to help her pass her alone time in rehab, how do we reassure her and support her in the best way possible?

Any input would help.
