Just a quick up date about my partners aphasia.
He has done this since before his stroke.
But yesterday he said the alphabet up to h 
with out getting letters mixed up and then he did after that.
Also he counted to 10.
I think thats really positive progress
That is definitely great progress. Fantastic to hear he is making progress.
He gets mixed up passed that. But id say hes definitely trying to do it
Well done him! Every little step leads to more. Do you keep a diary of the little steps he makes?
I havent really. But I tell him all the time the progress he makes
Every time he tries helps him get it all back. He’s doing great, it’ll come.
Definitely I believe that too.
He just came out with it. I was shocked.
I was out yesterday with the boy so he must of been practising
Terrific, his brain is getting more and more stimulated, and I hope he is enjoying it because it is something to be pleased about, the brain needs those reward signals just like a pet responds to treats. I think this is fabulous progress.
Thank you so much.
It was 10 months yesterday since his ischemic stroke.
Slow and steady wins the race. That’s great news. New neurones in his brain are triggering and making connections again. It will happen with patience and time. This is a definite positive to be proud of. Long may this improvement continue 
Thank you soo much. Definitely proud of him
Excellent progress. Keep going.
I’m a member of Aphasia Reconnect (even though I don’t have Aphasia - long story).
They have many online groups. A great charity and you can attend what you like.
Let me know if you need more info.
He doesnt want to attend any groups. 
No problem. Understood.
Such a nice post to read Claire.
I echo all that has been said and wish you and your husband continued success.
I like the fact that he practices when you are out - this suggests strength of character and various other positive vibes for which right now I am struggling to come up with correct descriptors, but I feel sure you know what I am takking about.
When a milestone has been reached like this, I think you should celebrate it or enjoy the moment with your husband (and family if you have children - sorry I can’t remember if you have mentioned this). Celebrating in this way is a booster and it helps prepare for the next milestone.
As @jenny-wren suggests, a diary would be a great way to record the milestones and you can look back on how you have progressed over time.
Also, when you get [minor] setbacks or reach plateaus you can review the journey and remind yourselves how well you have done.
Wishing you continued success
