Last night, when I went to see Dave, he greeted me with a friendly "bonjour!" which I returned, which led to some discussion in French. I always take it as a positive sign when someone is not only speaking, but doing so in multiple languages.
Dave was stronger and more comfortable than I've seen him. He seemed quite alert and made several jokes. He does get a bit distracted from time to time, and will lose his train of thought or repeat something, and I've noticed a new habit he's been displaying of singing, either a song that had come up in conversation or just creating a song based on something mentioned, which is new. Still, he was also showing some impressive improvement physically, moving some things around and pushing his call button, which were all steps up. I'm hoping today he'll be ready for the leg wrestling I'd challenged him to yesterday.

Hello David ~ it's wonderful you are feeling better! One question: on behalf of Lizzie and I ... you did indeed ask for us too, correct? Certainly Mary is important, but Lizzie and I were in your consciousness too, yes?
With love, Ellen (Flanagan, Mary's cousin)
Ich kann nicht glauben, dass Dave Deutsch nicht sprach
