My friend has arrived at Holy Cross today with her boy!! He looks terrified but will soon settle in.
Helen has had a hair cut! Her hair is even more curly then before.
The nurse in charge spoke about quiet time for all residents to avoid over stimulation. They propose individually tailored times. Helen's would probably be after morning care, after lunchtime and early evening after going to bed. The proposal is that there will be no tv or interruptions. I think it's a great idea.
Helen is being trialled with a neck collar to stop her head going forward as she is developing a sore/mark on her chin from resting on her Swedish nose! They have tried tipping her chair back, reclining the headrest and other methods. They cannot use a headband yet because of her operation.
Her bloods came back - 83 in hospital, 86 when she came back, 93 from the test last week and another test was taken yesterday. Hopefully they can avoid ferrous sulphate.
She had another fit on Monday lasting over 3 minutes. She had buccal midazolam and then vomited!
She went up to cooking on yesterday and was smiling at the lady running it.
I have taken one of her blouses to see if I can alter it because she has put on weight and it is cutting in! I have taken in 2 duvet covers and pillow cases for her to make her room a bit more homely.
