Friday was a typically busy hospital day but some fun exercises were included too.
 |
| Part of a session of 50 |
While Elise was in her standing frame the Physio team gives her tasks that really get the muscles going and the heart racing. We all noticed how much she had improved in her ability to balance and bend while being stood up. Very different from when Elise was propped up and hanging on for dear life and wishing to be returned to sitting. After a good exercise workout and a rest we went to the old Occupational Health Kitchen and got stuck into making Risotto. Lots for fun is the main ingredient in Risotto, which I think makes it taste better.

Just to give on indication of how Elise has improved in movement. After she had been in hospital about 2 weeks, around Christmas time, Elise took half an hour to write one sentence which included a sleep in the middle of it. Now her writing is very good indeed but not quite as it was before Transverse Myelitis.
