Sleeping Beauty

Hello everyone.  Rena is doing very well.  They are very very slowly dialing back the sedatives and the ventillator parameters and she is responding very well.  Today she has been responding to some of the things Nate and I say to her or to irritating things that nurses and doctors do (like giving her a bath etc). Mostly she makes facial expressions and she even squeezed Nate's hand.  She opened her eyes briefly, but it is not clear that she registered us.  These are all good signs.  It is very heartnening to see little bits of her personality coming through.
