>"Well, she spends most of her time just staring off into space, unfocused. She can still walk around, if you lead her, or eat with assistance. She mostly seems unaware of her surroundings, but if you try to talk to her, sometimes she seems to hear you for a moment or two before losing focus again. Sometimes you can get a one or two word answer to something you ask her, but not much more than that, and not often."
>"The last time I tried to speak with her, I think she was actually looking at me, rather than through me. I think she was a little bit more present to the world around her, although not very strongly. She still didn't really respond to me."
