Great strides

Today Alice went to the Doctor, a common occurance these days :)! She had a lungfunction test - turns out that her lungfunction is 65%, and it's still going up - this is awesome, especially if one considers that 16days ago, her lungfunction was 20%, in other words, in 16 days it went up more than 3-fold! The Doctor says it's 'briljant'!!!! She's going for some x-rays, bloods and another lungfunction test next week, so will keep you updated on the results!

Her mom is cleaning her wounds at the moment, and I've been told that she almost passes out each time ... can't be fun! :) And, she has just sent me a mms, with a picture of the right side of the wound, with 2 of the 'cuts' where the drainage tubes were - and, yes, I must confirm, it's looking rather gross and scary! Her poor mom ...
