Eleanor is home! 🏡🌈 She was discharged from hospital Monday night after a long day of waiting and campaigning by Sarah and it’s so nice to have them both home ❤️
Eleanor, Sarah and myself all tested positive for covid over the weekend, so despite the iso circumstances, it feels so good to be living together under the one roof again.
As much as Eleanor rocked the rockstar look with half a head of hair, last night we decided to shave her head for a fresh start! Besides developing an actual dreadlock, her new look is in a way symbolic of Eleanor’s next chapter, and she looks just as (if not more) beautiful than before 🥰 we will miss her springy locks though!
It’s become so apparent to us that the neuroplastocity of Eleanor’s brain started making up for the damage in the right side of her brain from birth. It’s two weeks today that Eleanor had her hemispherectomy and it’s like she hasn’t skipped a beat. In fact she seems brighter, more present and able to repeat and speak new words like never before.
To our surprise, she still has function with the left side of her body with no paralysis – which is remarkable since the left side of our body is controlled by the right side of our brain, which Eleanor no longer has any connection to… this girl is truly incredible. It’s still early days and she still has rehab to get through next week, then ongoing therapies, but she is off to a rocket start!
Thanks again to everyone who supported us over the past few weeks, we couldn’t have done it without you 🙏
And thank you to those who placed orders with us recently, we’re so excited for you to receive your tees and hoodies and share the Able message! 🌏❤️🙌 The courier collected all orders from the week of Eleanor’s surgery this morning, so keep an eye out for your delivery in the coming days!
