Carol seems to be more energetic today.  ...Eyes wide, quick to respond, pretty animated I'd say!  She "talks" by writing the shapes of letters on our hand/arm and she's doing that to communicate more mundane thoughts.  Used to be simple "Pillow down" sorts of messages and last night is was "Thank Debbie for getting the Bob Dylan tickets for me" and "Bring me some Devil's Food Cake tomorrow".  ...Remember that she has a tracheotomy.  Doncha just wanna kiss her right on the cheek?!
