Mum's friend Lyn has been visiting from Sydney and Louis says that has gone really well. I am still in NSW so my Helen updates come via Louis. From what he says she continues to vary a lot day to day and even through the day in terms of her ability to think and to communicate. She is trying to keep eating and exercising but finds neither very appealing (in fact she never really has if you look at her life long patterns!)

At this stage still in the rehab ward at Mater Private in Brisbane. I'll be back in Brisbane Sunday night I think or maybe Monday morning. Louis tells me we have a family meeting booked with the palliative care team on Wednesday about discharge options but as I haven't seen Mum for 2 weeks I can't really picture what those are at present.
