Sally's training is coming along...she's gaining confidence and is now starting to move with her own free will...she's a stubborn girl, so having to take this slowly otherwise she will just switch off. https://t.co/2lnpJUt4VE
8 days of training, short sessions and progress being made. Slowly does it as her muscles and spine have altered and buiding stamina. Will look to lower the front by around one inch I think. https://t.co/LwjxFpk2M0
Sally's first steps...had to resort to her dinner to get her moving and it's worked! She managed the length of the living room and through the kitchen. She's on her way :-) Same again tomorrow then xx https://t.co/P6p22jRIq6
A little update. Sally is now balanced in her wheels and she took the first couple of tentative steps yesterday outside. Today we were going to film her but she has a little upset tummy today, so we've left wheels... https://t.co/mQdC5SO5lJ
Well, wheels and prosthetics are here <3 . We have some small adjustments to make to the chair but nothing major, so expect to see more over the weekend. The prosthetics are much better too, but we need to sit and... https://t.co/fS6kWTAZvT
Sally has been out and about exploring today, whilst she waits for her legs and new wheels. She loves being outside and watching the world go by, hopefully there will be no stopping her soon <3
Just a little post to keep everyone in the loop....the 3D prints at bone level weren't suitable for the designers, so the lovely Fawn Medesha had to go back to the start and produce/print another set this time at... https://t.co/n7k7z5Wvr6
Both legs are now done and will be shipped to Derrick to start redesign no.2. Fingers crossed for the next set which should hopefully be a much better fit and design. Great job Fawn Medesha. Thank you <3 https://t.co/LRl9TtBh9F
This is one of Sally's legs being 3D printed from her CT scan. This is the closest thing we can get to Derrick Campana physically meeting her (not an option with us in UK and Derrick in the USA). Both legs will be... https://t.co/VFkD3TBAZ6
Great news peeps! Derrick is open to other casting media. At the moment we're looking at the possiblity of replicating Sally's legs using 3D printed technology from her CT scans. Fawn Medesha is the 3D printer... https://t.co/AqenwwP5fS
When you see the life in Sally, you can see why we're so determined to find a better solution for her mobility. Fingers crossed we'll have news soon. Next video will be her flying up the stairs ;-) Looks are deceiving <3 https://t.co/St4KvY4LBQ
Have just come off a call with Derrick - there was a delay at their end (with good reason) , but all is now back on track and Sally's redesign is at the top of the list. so relieved her first set of orthotics and... https://t.co/wTvpx9hkZ7
Well Sally's legs have now left the UK and are on the way back to the USA for another adjustment. We've enclosed a fair few photos and different measurements to refer to, so fingers crossed. This is the guy who is... https://t.co/EGJtncmlKE
Good news. I've heard back from Derrick and have a call with him on Monday to discuss the adjustment needed to Sally's braces. He was very encouraging which was great to hear. In the meantime, Sally is practising... https://t.co/bhPQdYoGhb
Sally's legs have arrived! Unfortunately the fit isn't as great as we hoped but I guess it's not that surprising given everything has been arranged remotely. So we're waiting to hear back regarding modifications.... https://t.co/yyJZpMSg1M
