That's the good news.
The bad news is that last week Elise unfortunately fell out of her wheelchair onto concrete and landed heavily on all fours and narrowly missing banging her head.
As her hand was very sore we got an x-ray that showed no breaks however the result was somewhat inconclusive.
Her left hand is the main problem and is still very sore. Another x-ray has been just ordered to further investigate the matter. The damaged hand effects everything as her hands are her only mode of movement. Painful to operate wheelchair, painful to transfer onto toilet and car seat etc. etc.
We hope that the healing be quick.

Some good news is that Elise was able to put shoes on both feet for the first time in three and a half months because of the nasty burn on her heel. New skin has formed right across the wound and soon no dressings will be necessary.
