Daff Today at 19:38 Request review

Day 6: 2 little steps forward today - Daff opened her eyes to request from the nurse, and she has begun to control her own coughing which helps clear the fluid on the chest, which the medic's are pleased with.
Bloods remain low and needed platelets today.
There is still an infection that they have not yet isolated, but tests continue - so temp still up and down at present.
Med's have said it is going to be slow progress, and one of the 'touring consultants' today ref'd to Daff as 'an interesting case' (but as he was talking to other senior med's and not me I lost the rest in translation !!! But it probably stems from her being an AML/chemo patient rather than the 'normal' (?) patients they get in ICU).
Thank's to those who have sent cards/notes but forgive me for not taking them in yet - (a) they don't allow it in this ward and (b) Daff's not showing response to general chat ... yet.
Currently watching Scooby Doo yet again coz visiting g/daughter really, really needs to watch it....again.....sigh. 'least the felines have vanished (they prefer the Documentary channel - especially RSPB programmes! lol!!)

That's it for now,

Night all....

Daff Today at 20:56 Request review

Just lost the whole update - goodness knows where it went, but screen went crazy and.......puhh...no update.
So, again:
Slight movement in eyes, one arm, legs and head, and reaction to voices (though not mine - obviously toooo quiet !! lol!!!).
There's still an elusive infection and both central lines and 2 cannulae were removed and have been sent for analysis to see if the cultures show up anything.
Ventilator reduced to 20% assistance, but rest is being done by Daff. They are likely to carry out a tracheostomy to replace the current ventilator, but don't know when.
Tube feeding going okay, but temp still up and down coz of the infection. Drugs seem to be controlling the heart well, with only a few 'peaks', but Daff managing these on her own, without extra drugs being needed.
Another step forward....

Off to my chicken (accompanied by 'adoring' felines), veg and...oh, I'll do summat with the tatties and prob add a bit o' gravy too!!

G"night all
