Lindseys condition did not worsen she was stable overnight the doc told us that her blood samples were clear and that her scan was fine.The prognosis was that she had had epileptic fits but nothing else had occurred since the time she went on to the ward they were going to treat her with medicine for epilepsy starting her off on a really small dosage. They also said that she had a temperature and that there may be some kind of infection they would take a urine sample and get it tested they gave her some antibiotics to combat the infection. They would continue to monitor her but as there was no further episodes all being well they would discharge her at 330pm . Lindsey was awake and lucid and said she felt a bit better but she still wasn't quite herself, I assumed that this was due to her infection and that in a day or so when the antibiotics kicked in she would be fine. I helped Lins get up and get dressed she was sitting up in the chair just waiting to go home we talked about having a takeaway for tea and she could choose what kind we would have.At some point in the day the doctor came to talk to us again he said they had decided not to treat Lins for epilepsy they were sure she had a seizure but they were not convinced that it was epilepsy,so it would be wrong to start her on these drugs that she might have to take for life.
At this point the prognosis changed , the blood tests that previously we were told were clear had showed that Linseys blood sugar was very high, they now thought that this was the cause of the low blood pressure etc we were told that they suspected she might be diabetic and that we should take her to the local GP to have this checked out.. 330pm came and went she was still in hospital I decided to go home for a break leaving Lindsey with Nicola,time passed and she still had not been discharged I arrived back at hospital Lindsey was looking worse and had gone back on the bed to lie down, she needed to go tho the toilet , I went with her she did what she needed to do and was washing her hands,she said I don't feel well I feel just like I did on frid,she turned round and her eyes were glazed I said Lins look at me focus and then she collapsed to the floor .
The crash team arrived we were sent out to the waiting room..
A nurse came and asked who was with Lindsey when she fell and asked me to describe what had happened which I did, she said obviously Lindsey wont be going home today.
When we went back to the ward Lindsey was again hooked up to the oxygen .they were taking blood samples which was very difficult as Lindseys veins were not very prominent, Lindsey was conscious she said she didn't feel well and that her ankle was really sore we mentioned this to the staff, turns out she had broken it when she fell in the bathroom. I went home at around 10pm I was exhausted Nicola stayed with Lindsey.
