Today, Janie went back to the wrist surgeon for x-rays and follow up, and he was very encouraged! He said that her bones were healing much faster than he expected, including the scaphoid bone, which can be difficult to heal. In addition, her ability to move her hand, close her fist etc. was well ahead of what he expected. He attributed it to her diligence in exercising the hand and fingers. Although she will continue to wear the splint for another month, the doctor told her to leave it off most of the time. She will wear it when moving around where she could fall, but she can do light activities and keep it off while sitting. I am very proud of her diligence and compliance to help speed up the healing.  Jess and I are having out for a week-long road trip beginning Sunday, and this makes me much more confident that Janie can get along without my being here.
