Her husband was struck by brain hemorrhage and had an emergent brain surgery in April last year. He suffered from aftereffects of the surgery and had another one in May. But he did not get better at all.

In June, 2004, she told me her husband could recognize her but not her daughters. She told me she did not know how he would be in the future.

She told me she thought it happy that her husband was alive and stayed by her. She said that she would do her best to help her husband.

She said her husband had changed so much that she didn't want others to see him. She said that her two daughters and she alone were taking care of him. He was not able to eat food at all and was given only liquid food.

The doctor said that her husband would not be able to stand up, nor walk any more. The doctor told her that he was not sure if her husband would come to talk or his memory would come back.

At the end of last December her husband left hospital and came home, though he was still not able to get up by himself, nor stand up by himself.

It is almost nine months since her husband left hospital. Today I saw her and her husband. A miracle has saved her husband! Today her husband did walk without a cane--it surprised me very much.

She said to him, "This is karin-san, my friend." To my great joy, her husband said to me, "Oh, nice to meet you. It's so kind of you to back up my wife. Thank you very much."

She told me later that her husband could answer what was asked of him but that he would forget very soon the fact that he talked. Therefore, it was impossible to keep the conversation going between them.

But I am very glad to know that he at least remembers a lot of words. I'm sure the day will come when her husband will be all right. He is young and medical science is making steady progress, especially in the field of the function of brain.
