Read story C19: The first full conversation (image and text)
Can someone recover after weeks of delirium?
After weeks of delirium, Amina begins to have longer periods of clearer thinking. These periods gradually last longer while assessment, treatment and rehabilitation continue. Later she can follow a full conversation, although she still needs help. This is one possible recovery, not a timetable or a promise about another person.
