Ash,
From what I know, recovery from a bleed takes a long time and it is very very early days for your wife. @hope81 s sister sounds like she is going through similar things to your wife.
I don’t know if when she is looking she is seeing or not, or whether she understands everything but my advice is to encourage her that it is normal to lose a lot of function with a stroke but it will come back. I remember someone saying some time ago that during their recovery, they couldn’t move and they couldn’t speak. If ever that happened to me, I would want people to tell me it would return.
Very best wishes
Richard
