It's good to hear that she is talking at least. When she's saying crystal corn flakes, thats a good sign. It may be hard to understand, but she's puting in the effort.
Another bit of advice that proved very helpful for my mom, would be to get her to try to write words that she can't pronounce. She may not be at that stage yet, but she will.
Also, i was told by our doctors that if she's haveing trouble saying words, don't fill in the blanks for her. Get her to think about it. No matter how much she's struggling. Her brain will never teach itself it your doing all the thinking.
The way that i was explained what was happening inside her head was this:
her brain has been damaged, similar to if say a road was blocked off construction. her brain has to find a way around, only permanently. It takes a long time for this to happen, but your wife is young, and has a wonderful family to live for. If she can still remember that, then she will pull through. I'm sure of it.
I wish you the best Brian.
