Alison saw Dr. Hurvitz today. As usual, he was very thrilled with her progress and thinks she is doing great. He had a new resident with him, so he was quizzing him on her actual function versus her lesion level. We revisited the idea of TES therapy, which he still agrees could be beneficial for her, and we will be talking to Alison's PT to see how we can get that set up. So since Alison is continuing to do so well, we won't have to be back until February.

Alison had another follow-up appointment with Dr. Craig today. We were in and out and had our next appointment scheduled before her appointment was actually supposed to start -- that's a first!! We can usually plan on at least a half an hour wait. Anyway, Alison's thumb is healing nicely. She's got one little stitch that we need to try and clip, if she'll let us, but the incision is looking good. If we can get her to go without a band-aid a little bit, that will help, too. She's down to wearing her splint just at night, now, and will be able to give it up completely in about a month. So we're done with orthopedics until November, when Dr. Craig will take a look at thumb and legs again.
