The physios had Helen sitting on edge of bed, supported by just 3 of them.  Initially it took 5 of them to support her.  Emily (physio) said that she would push for Helen to have more Botox in every limb before going to Holy Cross.  Helen's left arm stiff & straight and her right arm stiff & bent.  Her skin is very red and spotty today.  

One of the nurses said she would chase podiatry.  NICE guidelines say that she should have been seen within 24 hours.  Another nurse didn't know whether JR had been contacted today.

Supplies are being ordered for her move to Holy Cross.  She has to take feed, spare trachy tubes, medicines, etc for the first couple of weeks until they sort it out down there.

She has a rapid side to side eye movement at the moment.  It is a bit disconcerting.  My Dad thought that she could not see him when he was on her left side.  It may just be the she couldn't be bothered to look!!
