The best news yet on B&B

At about 9 a.m. today, Bill Siitari alertly opened his eyes and started talking. His old personality is back, reports his jubilant brother-in-law Ford Rolfsrud. Conversations make sense and he is exchanging ideas.
What's more, the couple has been reunited in a double room and they have seen each other for the first time since the accident Sunday. They can now speak to each other.

Everything isn't perfect, of course. -- When asked if he was married, Bill responded "No." He did manage to climb out of the doghouse a bit later, however, when asked to whom he was married.
"Briggs," came the welcome reply.
There is much happiness this morning in the love nest on the sixth floor of Regions Hospital in St. Paul. We will share other news as it comes to us.
