More Sleeping, More Exercises

For the next few days, I don't feel like we'll have much to report.  Eliza did a lot of sleeping again today, and we worked on her PT excercises.  Now that we found a comfortable cushion for her wheelchair, it makes it easier for Eliza to spend time other places than her bed.  Here she is having breakfast in the lobby this morning.


Each day she is gaining more range of motion in her legs.  We still have to move them for her, she isn't able to lift or move her legs on her own yet.  She has improved greatly in her ankles and can move both, even the one with the hardware removal, quite well.  Today we could lift her legs so much higher than we could even yesterday.  After her casts came off, we could only lift them a couple of inches off the bed at most.  

We will keep working each day so she will be strong and ready to start standing again when she goes back to Dr. Novacheck in a couple of weeks.
