wow, congratulations on the improvements - both home and personal. I also am seeing more alertness and awareness at times in Gary, and his speech has improved tremendously in the last few months with the new aid, Rhonda, working with him.

I think you are right to be calling this a miracle, it certainly seems like one to me too. Do make the most of the improvements in Dick, throw the parties, celebrate each day. The changes will also mean you have access now to some of your old life so do some more "Ruth" things. And when you and Dick are still able to go out as a couple take some joy in the things you will be able to share together.

Unfortunately Ray is still just Ray. But ten years on I still have him so got to be grateful for that.

Life a bowl of cherries, most people say they got stuck with the pits. But you got the sweet cherries. Miracles! :cloud9: Kudos to you and Dick. remembertolaugh, Jeanniebean
