Thursday 3rd June 2010

News from the North. Louis says he and Sally have been having a great time with Helen. Sally has been having great success with encouraging Helen to eat a little more and Louis has been reading out loud to her. Yesterday I gather they had ACAT assessment again which went well and we should be approved for more home nursing care when a "package" becomes available.
The CT Scans did not happen in the end owing to intrahospital confusion but this is still the intention. Louis tells me some palliative care equipment - hospital bed etc arrived at Helen's home in Darwin today. For the time being they intend to keep her in the hospice until it is possible to discharge her to home in Darwin but I'm not sure how long this will be. Just in case of sudden pressure on hospice beds we are holding onto our place at Terrace Gardens for now. Unfortunately Helen's Palmerston friend Kaye has been called way for personal reasons - and she was the main plus of Palmerston! I'm glad she and Helen had such good times together before Kaye had to go.
Other visitors recently have included Bilha and Jazzi - and probably more I don't know about.
Louis tells me Helen is really enjoying seeing people.
