Sunday 20th Feb.

We arrived at hospital, Lins was still conscious but still not quite herself, the Doctor came and talked to us he said that Lins had had another seizure that morning. He said that she was quite ill but he didnt know what was causing the seizures and that she was being transferred to the ICU unit for closer monitoring. The team came to do the transfer they told us to meet them on the ward in about 15 mins and they would have to get her settled in and do their own assesments of Lindsey, we went for coffee.  We arrived at the ICU dept and were asked to wait in the waiting room. The ward Sister came and collected us and took us to a side room, we were introduced to Dr Low He told us that Lindsey was very ill she had a cardiac arrest caused by a blood clot on her lung ,she was critically ill and he was basically fighting to save her life.  Some time later they came and told us that they had managed to get Lindsey stable and we were allowed to see her It was pretty devastating she was hooked up to all sort of machinery that was working to keep her alive. Lindsey had been heavily sedated in order for the doctors to do what they needed to do without causing her any distress.  We were told at this point that she was stable and they were doing all they could do and now it was a waiting game.
