They were on both thumbs, both middle fingers, one ring finger, a very mild one on one little finger...and then they appeared on both big toes and a random selection of other toes. Did you know that fingernails grow at approx 0.1mm per day? And toenails at approx 0.03mm per day? Well now I do, and when we measured these marks and did the maths, they would appear to line up fairly closely with the time surrounding when her hearing dropped. Hmmm...
Since this photo, this thumb nail has come off completely, as has one of the middle fingers. Her big toes will come off as they are completely detached across the nail plate, and I think she may lose a few others too. They will grow back, but it's interesting that they seem to correspond to a change in hearing. Makes me wonder if they are connected. Did I ever mention Heimler syndrome? More research required, methinks.
