Spoke with ward this morning at about 1030.  Was told that Helen could be transferred today.  Her blood sugars were still on the low side (6.? and 4.8). Her feed was due to start at 11 and she would have her blood sugar done again then.

Call from C Neuro saying that she was being transferred at about 5pm. Went to Haslemere to the garden party and to wait for Helen with Dad.

Phone call from C Neuro.  Helen's blood sugar was 3.5 as they were leaving so it was not safe to transfer her without a nurse escort, which thy did not have.  So another night in hospital and back tomorrow with escort.

Have emailed PALS at Southampton asking for an investigation of sorts into why she had her trachy changed and why she has a pressure sore.

Spoke with Holy Cross about the pressure sore.  She was shocked as well.  She also mentioned about her big toe.  It has been discussed before and Helen may need an operation to remove the nail in her toe in order to prevent these recurring infections.  This is for further review.
