Back on 7 and making small improvements

We are back on the 7th floor and out of the ICU.  Rena is continuing to make small improvements.  She is able to speak in whispers and her mobility is improving.  However, we expect to be in the hospital for some time yet, mostly because she will continue to need physical therapy.  Her lungs are improving significantly, but she still requires oxygen through a nasal cannula. She sleeps most of the time and is really only able to watch movies or TV when she is awake.

  4. Kyle and Katie displayed a letter at their wedding, stating that they donated money on behalf of Rena for the leukemia foundation. All the family at the wedding sent Rena, Ginger and Nate plenty of love.
