I appreciate you reply. I'm working with her family trying to find a practitioner that will work with us virtual.
As I'm sure you're aware, doctor-shopping from such distances is difficult. Patty has enjoyed Zoom sessions with her son and with a speech therapist. Right now, her sister, a PA, is looking for a doctor that will work with her virtually. I guess the big step was deciding that what we had wasn't working and that I had to open up to help from the family. Hre's hoping.

I'm glad you have found some avenues with her sister and her son with helping. Family can be a big support for you and her so don't be afraid to ask for help of any kind. I have found that my family doesn't really know what kind of help I need, so i just have to ask and they are willing to do whatever they can. This can be very overwhelming at times, so I just say a prayer and hope it all works out. I have a sign in our bedroom that says "Pray More Worry Less" and that's just what I do.
God Bless and Prayers to you
