Yes. You are right that Woodrow Wilson’s wife used to privately meet with her stroke victim husband in the bedroom and come out to say what she heard him say for policy decisions on major matters.

“From October 1919 to the end of Wilson’s term on March 4, 1921, Edith, acting in the role of First Lady and shadow steward, decided who and which communications and matters of state were important enough to bring to the bedridden president.”
