First couple of days with Halo Traction

Hi Everyone,
We have had a good first few days with halo traction.
It has been hard and Ash has had some pain. It mostly under control through the pain medication that she is taking routinely.
We are already adding weights to it starting with 1KG and working up to 3KG today.
She is a trooper and is being very determined despite having a sore neck from the strain.

Here are a few pictures of the setup.
She can sit in a wheelchair during the day which is rigged up with a pulley system to hold the weights and there is a similiar system in the bed for at night.
She takes it off during the day at meal time but other than that, she is tolerating it most of the day as best she can.
In the wheelchair we can go out and about the hospital which helps break up the day.

It has been a great weekend of visits from her friends and family which has been great for the distraction.

This is Ash sitting in the wheelchair with the pulley system and weights attached.

These are the weights hanging at the back of the wheelchair.

This is it rigged up.

Thanks again for the continued love and prayers. We can feel them giving us all the strength and courage that we need to get through this time. :)
