January 2 2013

I had a discussion with one of the nurses about Helen's skull bone flap.  The Neuro team has been in contact with John Radcliffe but no one will be in until 7th January and they will phone again then.  Their thoughts are currently that the bone piece is too big to replace so titanium plate will be fitted.
 
Lantus has been increased to 86 units.  BM not above 11 today.
 
The physios have given her a new inflatable splint on right arm to straighten and keep it straight.  It was on for 20 minutes today.  Splint is also to be used on left arm.
I queried whether she might have a hormone imbalance.  She has the most terrible acne and is really hairy!! I'm hoping they may eventually do blood tests to see what's going on.
Great toe on left foot is still red and inflamed today, right great toe not as much.  Podiatry referral done last week.
She is still very sleepy today.  She hasn't really woken up much or been very responsive.
 
Her urine still has debris in but no UTI present.
