Helen asleep when I got there.  Still not 100%.  Very sleepy.

Her catheter has been reinserted because she had not passed urine on Tuesday.  She is on prednisilone, metronidazole and another antibiotic (?amoxicillin).  This is policy after a patient has vomited due to the risk of aspiration pneumonia.  

The physio listened to chest.  Secretions are thick so extra nebulisers are  needed and mobilisation.  

He also says that they are hoping to get Helen on the exercise bike to strengthen and mobilise her legs so she needs trainers.  

Hydrotherapy is being arranged.  A special swimming costume has been ordered for her.  We are welcome to observe when she goes in.

Spoke with Charles, social activities organiser.  He says he put the pictures in Helen's room before she arrived to brighten it up but we are welcome to remove them and put up whatever we want.
