Oh Dodie that is wonderful news. Sorry I am just now seeing this and havent asked you about her. Even though those small things probably seem like huge annoyances to her, they are like badges of honor, from one hell of a war. My mom always told me she'd live any day with water coming out of her nose if it meant she was granted another day on earth (she had her palate removed).

you are gaining your sister back and thats a beautiful thing. hope you live near each other!
