Progress

Today, like all other days, I removed Elsie's harness for her hour of freedom.  Immediately her limbs began to move all about.  This is normal for her two arms and right leg, but usually she doesn't move her left leg too much.  Today was a different story.  Her leg was extending straight, lifted in the air.  She would bring it down and flex it, just to repeat the stretching again!  I truly got tears in my eyes.  It was encouraging to see her move so much.  Not moving her leg isn't common to PFFD, but Dr. Nowicki believes it probably is just her caution in response to the pain she experiences (which is still unknown as to the exact cause of the pain).  However, with her increase in movement, I'm hopeful that it's a sign the harness is giving her the comfort we want her to experience with possible long term benefits.  YAY.

Picture Proof!!
