Not Processing Well

"I realized over the past couple days how she has really regressed. Her speech is jumbled. Her confusion has increased. As we left dayhab today, before we got to the car, I asked if she had another good day. She didn't answer for a few minutes until I asked what she did today.
"I don't know. I don't remember what I did." I asked if she had fun. "I guess."
Then she began telling me about being told she could open a box of pictures. When asked what the pictures were about she didn't know. "People doing things. Maybe playing with a ball." So I asked if they were pics of other clients. "No, from books."
By this time we were less than a mile from dayhab.
This morning I said I didn't know what to fix for dinner. "I knew but don't remember." I then asked about a steak. "No." What about meatloaf? "no." How about chicken? "I don't think I like chicken." So I dropped it and we talked about the balloon that landed across the street. However, when we were almost home I said I'm going to grill drumsticks. "Oh good. I like them."
At least I'm not fixing chicken."
