I'm stunned by this display of love and the depth of love between you . This was heavy to watch , but such a strong family ,the wife and husband are awe inspiring. If you guys are reading the comments, the two of you are very inspirational..
We never know just what others are dealing with 😢 I'm in such awe of both their strength to carry on and also to tell their story...so important and helpful to show us all...keep on loving each other
YAY! I've been waiting for an update on this lovely family and couple. They are doing well, and as a wife with a disability who has an able bodied husband, I appreciate a married couple sharing the honest truth of their experiences, challenges, and successes enjoying life together and building a family as an interabled couple. I am so happy to see them thriving a growing in their relationship and ability to be honest that both the patient and the spouse carer are certainly impacted in some challenging ways as they learn to adapt to a new normal. However, once one radically accepts the new normal (i.e., Jo accepted her career as a doctor was not feasible due to her disability that is a factual reality in her life), the environment can change for both. Great teamwork and compassion, open-mindedness, and learning are demonstrated in a truly caring relationship like theirs. Congrats to them and to Jo!
I’m so impressed by the commitment this family has and the love between them. Was this filmed a few years ago or recently? Connor is so compassionate and smart. He will no doubt be a kind hearted young man. Wishing all the best to this amazing family.
I cried I had a soh and I am a 1% survivor it took over 10 years to be able to walk properly i totally understand the speech in your head it sounds great saying it is another thing keep going keep fighting you will win nothing is going to hold you back to achieve your goals Kia kaha
She's completely capable, have you tried sign language? If I'm not wrong, the brain is right on track, but the brain to mouth is being the stumbling block. Her hands seem active, but I'm not sure as to what level. It's worth a try!!!
Oh, and I am so sorry for not saying this previously. YOU ARE BOTH AMAZING PARTNERS!!!! In sickness and health was not lost on you. I am so sorry for your conditional events, but I am also so inspired by how, in the depths of the reality of that vow, you have risen to the occasion. Day at a time, and as always face the world together. SOOOO much love to you both, and your beautiful family. This is not a challenge anymore, it's an adventure as to how to make your new normal amazing .

It is so sweet how one of her strongest phrases (clarity and ease) is I love you. Goes to show how much she says it.

My mother suffered from aphasia and apraxia
in her last year of life and I was heartbroken - I can’t imagine the toll it takes on a young family 💔
Amazing family, the love and commitment to work together to overcome such a heart wrenching brain trauma!!

Connor is so compassionate and smart.
He will no doubt be a kind hearted young man. Wishing all the best to this amazing family.
I remember seeing this story years ago. I had a ruptured brain aneurysm five years ago. Very scary but I had a pretty quick recovery.

I’ve seen these guys before and it’s great to see how well they’re doing now.
What a beautiful family. Well done Jo on working so hard to get your language back..Wrapped in the arms of your family, dare to dream again. 💕
I remember seeing this a few years back! Would love an update on how they are x
Such an amazing family .thank you for sharing gour story ❤
You are a warrior!
Could they use the type of technology that Stephen Hawking used to be able to communicate better, or would that not work in her case?
Simply a beautiful family. 😊

Sorry if I'm being a bit much, but you can learn the speech (and be messy while learning the voice) when you communicate with sign language.
