Today was a good session, considering Mia is at her worst right now. The PT took some measurements of her joints (0 being "normal:):
Left knee:
Initial Diagnosis: - 20 degrees
A Week Ago (when we started PT again): -10 degrees
Today: -30 degrees (EEK!!)
Right elbow:
Initial Diagnosis: - 8 degrees
Two Days ago: -20 degrees
Today: -15 degrees
Currently, when she is able to walk, she is walking on the ball of her left foot and not putting her heel down at all. She was in a lot of pain today during the session...MUCH resistance to stretching and massage. :(
Up on deck...
Tomorrow: Knee Drained/Steroid Injection at 10 a.m. at NEMC

Good luck with everything! I hope it all goes well. My boy just started MTX again, and is on the eye drops...glad to hear her eyes are clear! But, good luck on the rest. I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys.
Good luck tomorrow. Mia will be in my prayers! I hope this will bring her some much needed relief!!
