September 11 was the last date I posted photos. Today is October 4 and I decided to look back on those images to see if there has been any progress. I'm glad that I keep images because it may not be much, but the wrist is stronger! My pointer finger has more muscle tone but the other 4 fingers have not improved at all. Yet. I know their days are coming!

tiny improvement, but see a
small amount of flex at the wrist! |
When my hand is flat on the table I still can not lift any of my fingers. There just is not enough strength for that ... yet. I can, however, lift my wrist and that is progress!

I can lift my hand at the wrist
when flat on the table! |
Thanks to my new iPhone I am able to take video. This is what it looks like to have a wrist that works, with a hand that does not. Because the pointer finger has gained some muscle tone, I am actually able to lift it with the wrist at certain positions. Yay! However, when I try to lift the other fingers - or all 5 at the same time, it is clear that I have a long way to go!
