Rena is making real progress with physical therapy. She has transitioned from exercises that were focused only on arm and leg movement to those that help with balance and core strength. It is very difficult for her and is not helped by the fact that she has nausea about 90 % of the day. The doctors are trying to manage the nausea, but it is a complex problem and it is not clear what exactly is causing the nausea.
For entertainment we are working our way through the first three seasons of "Bones", which were given to Rena as a gift from Nate's sister Melissa. Although it is very morbid, and pretty disgusting at times, it is Rena's favorite show. She wants to be a forensic entomologist. For anyone who has seen the show, Rena's favorite character is Hodgens, who uses his disgusting knowledge of bugs and slime to solve murders.

attention when someone says it's disgusting, it's really
way cool.
