Helen in bed on arrival.  Had meds & water.  Dressed, put in wheelchair and then we went outside.  

Sat in sun and shade for a couple of hours.  Listened to music and watched House.

She seems quite chesty today.  Hopefully it just her not coping with secretions - she was dribbling quite a bit.  Hope it's not a sign of an infection brewing.

Feed regime

Jevity 1.5 - 500ml @ 60ml/hr starting approx 1am
Water 200ml @ 0700, 0900, 1400, 1800 & 2100
Osmolite - 700ml @ 60ml/hr starting at 1100

Blood sugars in a good range, between 4 and 10.

Dave visited yesterday.  He sent me a text me to tell me about Helen's leg shaking.  She started dribbling a lot, her head flopped forward and her leg was shaking violently.  He went and got the nurse.  Helen stopped soon after.  Nurse said they would keep and eye on her.  I posted on Brain Injury about it and Sally wondered if she was already on some anti-epileptic medication, as a lot of people with brain injury are automatically put on it.  I haven't seen any in her medication list but would ask.
