.. we're all trying to keep positive that she'll be out of there soon .. anyhoo been keeping myself distracted by eating ... NOT GOOD !!!12/2 - Nana is doing so so .. still in ICU .. but was allowed to start liquid diet yesterday .. so that's a positive .. heart still playing up .. and fluid etc .. so positives and negatives .. but she is a tough nut
16/2 Nana is doing so so .. she is now in the Ward (was moved Sun night) .. and was taken off TPN yesterday .. still not flash .. but now on nasal prongs so that's slightly better .. she is really odemous .. but we found that no Frusemide had been chartered since she had been admitted to ICU .. and so Mum asked about it (as Nana just thought it was already been given via the IV) .. and they've now got her on it .. phew .. the fluid was pouring out of her pores/legs/arms as it had nowhere else to go it was terrible .. and of course she is so swollen from it all .. she looked really bad yesterday .. but I think the moving etc just exhausted her .. she managed 3 teaspoons of jelly yesterday so that was a positive ..
I think she is exhausted and a bit down.. and really would like to just go home .. but can't .. I have a feeling she'll most probably go home/wherever with oxygen ..
My other Nana was in last week as some ulcers on her legs went septic (she has diabetes) and she got bad cellulitis .. and mixed with all that she had a heart attack it sounds like (or maybe an angina attack) .. they got her on IV ab's and she was home to the rest-home by the weekend so that was good ..
Edited:
18/2 - Nana is doing well and they are talking that once they can find a bed she will go down to the Ward for rehabilitation - which is fantastic !!! It will be hard work for her as they do a lot with PT's and OT's to get her up and moving and increasing her lung capacity .. but it is a step in the right direction!!! YAY!!
