Rena is doing very well. She is able to speak much more easily. Her mobility is improving as well. She can wave her hand, scratch her own nose, and make small movements with her legs to get more comfortable. She will continue with physical and occupational therapy this week. Although it is very tough for her, it is nice to see that it is working.
Rena has had several visitors to brighten her spirits. Thursday a therapy dog came into the room for a short visit. On Saturday some former UM/NFL football players stopped in and took a picture with Rena. Nate's aunt Rita came for the weekend and gave Nate and I a much needed break together for a few hours Saturday and again today. My aunt Linda and Uncle Jim, and cousin Karen stopped in to stopped in to say hello. We all enjoyed the company and change of pace.
Rena Lisa, Papa and I are big believers in therapy dogs,

I'm so pleased that Rena has found her voice. We all need to express ourselves. I look forward to the day when she can record her personal journey. I'm sure it will be transformational for all of us.
