It keeps us from feeling so cut off from progress being made. It sounds great that Charlotte is lucid now and you can communicate with each other. It's very difficult to lose communication with your loved one. Keep the faith and stay strong and remember we're all pulling for you.

Charlotte's treatments are clearly helping her if you are hearing her "director" return: BRAVA! A Christmas-day break for both of you to relax and recoup will likely be welcome after your fast flight from Tome and being catapulted clear into another country: coatless in Mexico! Amazing, isn't it, how little we really need to be content: a loved one by our side able to have enjoy lucid moments with us after a long descent into illness--a priceless gift! Blessings upon both of you for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our prayers and love surround you.

Your word picture of grocery shopping in Mexico is the humor we all, and you and Charlotte, need. Find humor and laughs in the worst of times and it will make you both fly above the bumps. My prescription is that you find a copy of Dickens' Christmas Carol to read to Charlotte. It is only about 100 pages. We took our Lubbock grandsons to the new Jim Carey version of The Christmas Carol yesterday, and I came home and started reading it. Going back to a simpler time with Dickens' own word pictures of life in London in the 1840s and the unchangeable mandates to humans to be better and help each other would surely add some more good medicine to that which Charlotte is receiving in Tiajuana. A Merry Christmas for you is waiting to be found in simple pleasures in Mexico. Enjoy your sips of Christmas cheer. Carole Owen Dear Joseph,
