Billie's getting feeling in her right hand!!

I just spoke with Billie a little earlier this morning and she advised me she has a new leg brace. This one is below the knee. It frees up her thigh and knee so she can move it more on her own. YAHOO!
She said she is also beginning to have spasms in her right hand. She said it will just do it's own thing sometimes and it will ball up and it is somewhat painful for her. Although to most that may sound bad but it is really good news!! This means her feeling is returning. She was advised early on during her physical therapy sessions that the pain would kick in when the area begins to recover feeling. The pain is to come first and then she should be able to learn ways to exercise the appendage and further stimulate the feeling and movement she would normally have.
Remember, she had pain in her right leg and foot for while and then she was able to control it better. Can't wait to hear her say she can use that right hand again.
She is such a trooper!! Taylor is enrolled in classes at DCC and Lonnie is at work full time so she has been able to become a bit more independent these days.
Way to go Sifter!!! You are amazing!!
