Daff Today at 19:38 Request review

Day 6: 2 little steps forward today - Daff opened her eyes to request from the nurse, and she has begun to control her own coughing which helps clear the fluid on the chest, which the medic's are pleased with.
Bloods remain low and needed platelets today.
There is still an infection that they have not yet isolated, but tests continue - so temp still up and down at present.
Med's have said it is going to be slow progress, and one of the 'touring consultants' today ref'd to Daff as 'an interesting case' (but as he was talking to other senior med's and not me I lost the rest in translation !!! But it probably stems from her being an AML/chemo patient rather than the 'normal' (?) patients they get in ICU).
Thank's to those who have sent cards/notes but forgive me for not taking them in yet - (a) they don't allow it in this ward and (b) Daff's not showing response to general chat ... yet.
Currently watching Scooby Doo yet again coz visiting g/daughter really, really needs to watch it....again.....sigh. 'least the felines have vanished (they prefer the Documentary channel - especially RSPB programmes! lol!!)

That's it for now,

Night all....

Daff Today at 19:22 Request review

A mixed but positive day today. Daff continues to recover from the sedatives, but is not there yet - more arm/leg and facial activity but still can't open her eyes or control anything. No speech.
Ventilator remains but the dialysis machine has been removed as she is dealing with basic toxins herself presently. There is still some fluid on the chest, so vent will remain for now, and at the current level (rather than being reduced further).
Responding to discomfort and there's obvious (to me, anyway!) frustration that she can't currently do anything about what's happening.
She's had an echo scan on the heart (results awaited), and a new central line was put in this afternoon, so medico's obviously plan to continue using both lines for the time being.

Overall, remains stable and slowly recovering from sedation. Discomfort from this no doubt, but being closely monitored. Various drugs still being given to control various aspects.

Slowly, slowly.....
