Crutching it

Yep! Elizabeth's crushing it with her crutches! I've been feeling sad about the chemo delays, but it looks like this is exactly what she needs to progress in walking. I've only seen her use crutches for the last two days! She's still very unstable and her left leg is extremely weak. It's a lot of effort for her to walk without swinging her left hip and leg around a bit to compensate, so she ends up walking like this part of the time. She had a great visit with PT this afternoon and she's been painting the day away. Josh brought home a giant paint project canvas kit from a school gift exchange and the parts that Elizabeth's done so far are looking good! The plan is to do chemo this Thurs afternoon to Monday evening, get her PET scan early Tuesday morning, (a week from today) and then come home. The PET scan will tell us how her body is responding to the chemo. Thank you for the prayers! (As always!) We're hopeful to see that the chemo treatment so far has significantly reduced her cancer.
