Visits

Pat and Phillip came up yesterday and Ali joined us all today. I am very grateful she is up here and had good chat with her as I need to understand what the options are. I feel like I am in limbo and in reality we all are until Monday when the doctors will re-asses my mothers health. For sure she is looking better and is now eating food, but that is as far along as we are. She can’t feed herself or even pick up a water glass. She is simply too weak to move. She can’t be off the masks as without a constant flow of oxygen she rapidly turns blue and level of oxygen in her blood dips dangerously low. How do I know this? Because a junior doctor decided she was stable and took her off all her masks without telling her nurse and without monitoring her heart rate or blood levels. "Oh." I thought, "This is progress", and went to get here straw for her water. By the time I came back the nurse was fitting the mask again and looking quite concerned at the levels on the monitor she had reconnected. The junior doctor won’t look me in the eye anymore
