Day #86

The x-rays today showed Jennifer's hip is healing well. She got the ok to begin weight bearing physical therapy. When the dr asked her how much pain she had in her hip & legs, she said "none". Her hands & left arm are the only things causing pain. They are making custom splints for her hands to straighten them out (her right hand is curled up now like the left). Her right foot points dowward, so a custom splint is also being made for it. Her foot pointing downward is probably due to the muscle drawing up & can be fixed. There is a very, very slight chance that it could be from nerve damage in the pelvic area, but thd dr doesn't really think so. They are also making a custom splint for her left arm to slowly begin straightening out her elbow.

She started her weight bearing physical therapy today. They put weight on her feet in her bed today. She did well with that, but when they tried to stand her up in the gym, she got scared & panicked. They said this is normal & would just take time for her to get over being scared & panicking. I guess maybe she's afraid it's either going to hurt or they're going to let her fall.

She told David today that she wanted the "light off". She also said "cover" to let him know she wanted to be covered up then said "blanket" to tell him she wanted his blanket & not the sheet.

Everyday Jennifer continues to improve, but she still has a long way to go. So please don't stop praying for her! When I named this blog Jennifers Miracle, I had no idea how big a miracle it was going to be! We are all witnessing a great miracle. Thank you for being a part of it!

Love,
