2019 had been miraculous. Each month revealed a change, some subtle and others bold.  Don immediately required less fluid to drink and was better able to control his body temperature.  He no longer needed to clear his throat because the saliva had hung up. Don started going up and down ladders, repairing roofs, and using the Sawzall.  His movement was confident and purposeful, and he no longer used his cane.

Don tested his newfound balance in creative ways. For example, he could balance in the ocean on a standing paddleboard and ride a hoverboard.

Don's cognition and problem-solving skills dramatically improved. He was able to repair complex plumbing problems. He dealt confidently with household businesses and contractors.

We were thrilled and started to make plans for the future.
