Good news today! We just heard from Mia and she said that Gary sat up again in the chair and after they got him back in bed, he puckered up his lips to give her a KISS! She was so excited and thought it might be because she wore yellow today. He loves her in bright colors and she tends to wear more conservative colors. She said he then just went to sleep again. We told her to wear a bright color again tomorrow!

She said that she gave him a shave and haircut today so he no longer looks like the mad scientist. She also found out that the man in the room with him used to sing and dance and knew Billy Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald both of whom Gary loves their music. Mia told Gary that he needed to wake up and talk with this guy! They would have so much in common.

Sid and Pam came to see him and they thought he looked great! Sid works with Gary and has known him for years. Mia said that Gary kept looking at them and she thought that he was trying to talk several times today. He got agitated when he couldn't do what he wanted to do.

Thanks be to God - We give Him all the glory!!

Much love and thanks to all! Nancy and Bill

P.S. Mary Ella: I wish I'd been there to help eat that peach for Tom!

P.S. 2 - Bill and I are in Springfield, IL tonight and getting ready to eat dinner (supper) at Cracker Barrel!
