Friday was the last day for Stephyn's blindness. For the most part I am ready to move on. The longer he was deaf, them more complex the communication became. Earlier in the week, we had been trying to determine the best way to talk to each other. Later in the week we had figured out most everything vocabulary-wise that was necessary. This led to some confidence on both our parts in our communication skills. Unfortunately, neither of us could express what we were trying to say very well. Frustration resulted, and we had to cope by signing very slowly and being particularly patient. When all else failed, we simply resorted to texting. So, was nice to be able to simply speak to Stephyn.

The data is less compelling this week as compared with last week. We saw less severe differences in taste and smell from day to day, and there didn't seem to be any real visual improvement. The data hasn't been fully analyzed, so I can't make any specific claims.
