Well, she is out of her coma and when I walked into the room her head turned to me. We stared into one another's eyes and although I try not to assume anything, I could almost read her mind. I saw the last 16 years of love and memories in her desperate little eyes. I felt how happy she was to be alive, I felt all of her love for me, I felt even closer to her than ever! She continued to stare at me as her eyes filled up. Her eyes were more powerful than any words she could ever speak.

Ed was besides himself with happiness and my heart was so excited for him, for us. He has really been a wonderful help through this all and especially so since he is rather sick himself. When he told her not to worry about the cat because we are taking special care of him, she got all emotional. She answered all my yes and no questions.

This is the news we needed to keep us moving forward. Thank you all for walking besides us through this misfortune.

Oh and the best part...I told her I would work my magic to try to get her homecare vs. rehab. I said that she would need and would have to accept help in the future to make that happen. She closed those lovely eyes in submission. Normally she would have refused. We know now that she will make it through the rest.

Thanks again.>>Believe51
