Bye bye, cast

The cast is off. Our two-handed girl is back. Cast removal wasn't traumatic. Ella's prefering to use her right hand, but not ignoring her left. She used her left hand to eat supper tonight, and uses it to pick up objects that are on her left side. She's getting a lot of sensory input on her right side, so we're letting her get accustomed to that again and will launch into bilateral therapy tomorrow. It will be a challenging week as Sarah helps Ella integrate new skills with old, and we make plans for how to help her continue exercising her new abilities at home. This photo, or rather what it represents, was worth the whole cost of admission.
