After a rugged start to the day, Ally has rallied with the help of a lot of support staff, family and a good friend. It's a bit overwhelming having so many people constantly around all doing and asking different things but I think she's coping remarkably. She's very optimistic about walking again and soon. The physios helped her get up today - twice, and she's tried walking (albeit with straight legs). She's a very determined, gutsy young lady and, like her Nanna before her, will work very hard on all of this.
From what I understand, one of the biggest challenges at the moment is regularly taking deep breaths - she had another x-ray of her lungs today but doesn't know the result of this yet. Her haemoglobin is still low, too, so she's having another blood transfusion to help with this.
If you're thinking of phoning or visiting, it's a good idea to phone Mum first - she has a good idea about what Ally's up to:)
