Hot Soup - the continuing saga

So after daily physical therapy whilrpool treatments at the hospital, we now are finally starting to see the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel"! Today is day 16 and we are down to going everyother day to therapy. During the past 2 weeks we rented a wheelchair to help Rachel get around at school, which has helped tremendously! We also got some crutches to get her up and moving but soon found out that crutches and ice aren't a good mix!
This is how her foot looks now (a little blurry). The spot in the middle is where she suffered the deepest burn and where we thought we may need to do a skin grapht. Thankfully it's healing on it's own. All the red skin is new tissue.


She has softball season starting in 2 weeks so this has been new motivation for her to get up and move. Today she and Aubrey raced down the hallway at the hospital on our way to PT. A welcome sight! Right now she still can't wear a shoe on her foot so she's been sportin' my LLBean slippers, which seem to work just fine! We are hoping to get a shoe on her foot within 2 weeks.
