Thursday 15th April 2010

I am still working down in rural NSW so only have limited snippets to report. Louis has just gone away for a few days too but initially was visiting Helen several times a day. He reports her mental state has varied quite a bit while she is in hospital - sometimes very with it and sometimes confused. Yesterday she had another 1.5L drained from her R lung and had some pain after it. Hopefully it will allow some lung expansion and better oxygenation though. The nurses from the hospital rang this morning to tell me she had had a fall due to trying to get up on her own but apparently is uninjured although they were planning an xray or scan of some kind to check this out more.
Today the Karuna Volunteer, Jill, who visits her at home on Thursdays, planned to go in and sit with her for a few hours.
Sorry I haven't got more news - visitors are very welcome - ask her if you can sign her visitors book as she doesn't always remember things and that way she and we can see who's been.
