Tuesday 8th June

This is Sally's last day in Darwin. It sounds like it has been a wonderful visit for Helen and certainly the most fantastic thing for me and Louis to have her up there. Barbara came up for the weekend while Louis was out at Daly River Meperren Festival and now he is back and will be on his own until Jamie arrives on the weekend. I am still in Brisbane working - should be back in Darwin early next week.
Helen is due to have the oft-deferred prognosis determining CT scans today.
I spoke to her on the weekend and she was pretty good but I gather both Friday last week and yesterday she was very quiet and tired all day and not so good. Her mobility and function still vary a lot. Apparently we have been approved for another enhanced home nursing package via ACAT so the plan is to trial discharging her to her home with Louis before the long weekend. I'm not so sure this is a good idea but...I'm not there. I certainly do want to have her at her own house again and so does Louis...and so does Helen!
Anyway...we'll see.
