Tonya,

I hope you can get some rest now. You will need a lot of strength in the weeks, months, years to come. Your brother is lucky to have you.

Talk to a speech pathologist about the technical solutions you're looking for. I don't know for sure, but I'll bet some of them do exist... I know any Mac can speak a typed sentence, but I imagine there are some devices that turn a few keystrokes into whole words/sentences. Seek and you shall find.
