Sally and Tim arrived yesterday. Helen is still in the Hospice and likely to stay here until next Thursday at least. She had 2 units of blood transfused on Thursday this week and yesterday and today does seem less breathless and tired. There is still some discussion of her having her lung fluid drained again on Monday. Yesterday I met the palliative OT at Helen's house and organised to borrow equipment necessary to having her at home again - hopefully this will all be available next week. Her respite bed at Palmerston is still available but this will have to be reassessed depending how things go.
I plan to go to Brisbane this weekend for a break and to do some work. Sally will be the only person on deck until Wednesday when Louis plans to return. I think Sally will stay until the 8th or so and Louis hopes to be able to go to the Meperren Festival next weekend with his friends Stephanie.
This morning Sally and I are visiting Helen early (for breakfast) and leaving Tim to have a sleep in to recover from the late flight, next we plan to reconnect with him and hopefully pop in to Parap markets for brunch and vege shopping. Helen's friend Shirley plans to visit at lunch time and if Helen is up to it I hope to take her back to her house at the Gardens for the afternoon.
