I Can't Believe I Wanted This Back!

My friend Steve asked me a few weeks ago a really poignant question about Gio.
"In the Channel 3 story from May, Gio was running around in it and loud and happy...is he like that anymore?"
The answer was no. Since that video was shot, Gio had declined so significantly, I actually missed the constant moving and wailing and grabbing of things he shouldn't grab.
Here's the video Steve was talking about:
Why Gio's Garden

Now...here's a picture of Gio from October - 2 months prior to the diet.

He had to be in his wheelchair and was just about to have a seizure...you can see the look in his eyes.
Since the story in May, Gio had stopped walking because when he did, he would usually collapse. He didn't have the strength to stand and was losing muscle mass in his legs.

What makes this so important now is that I came home from Boston Monday to the Gio from May. He was running around the house, not stumbling. He was engaged, not distant. He was back.

I never thought I would WANT to have to tell him to stop grabbing things off counters.
