Monday 21 Feb

We went to hospital there had been no major changes Lindsey was stable the machinery was doing all the work for her, her heart was pumping but with a lot of help from the ventilator,we spent  the day sitting by her bedside talking to her willing for her to get better, there wasn't much input from the consultants she was stable  Compared to where she was on Sunday Morning she was doing well..however her kidneys were not functioning properly so she was hooked up to a dialysis machine, all her other vital signs were going in the right direction.

Tues 22nd

Lindsey was stable no major changes the Consultant doing the rounds said that things were going in the right direction and that he was cautiously optimistic!! Lindseys sedation was stopped we were all hoping that she would wake up and we could talk to her ,we sat there talking to her willing for her to come round. What no one told was that after the kind of sedation that  Lindsey has had it could take around 96 hours for her to wake up.
Wed 23rd

Again we were told no change Lins is stable she is holding her own.  The consultant came round Dr Kiani he took David and I into a side room . He asked us to tell him how Lindsey had come to be there ,why I dont know as this is all documented in the notes. He then told us that he was really concerned Lindsey was still critically ill her organs were not functioning as they should and there were concerns that there might be brain damage and that could not be assessed until she woke up.  Lindsey is now off the dialysis machine

Thurs 24th.

Again no change Lindsey is stable , she is still sleeping and we are willing for her to wake up . The consultant came around this time his Name is Mr Morris again he takes us to a side room and asks us to tell him how Lindsey came to be here,which is now annoying me as its all in the notes however we comply.  He tells us that he doesn't want to scare us or blind us with science, but he is not happy with the way things are going with Lindsey he thinks there are other factors that may have caused her condition but as yet they have not found them he has major concerns bout her heart and wants do do another scan this is done by passing a probe down her throat and gives an excellent and accurate 3Dd pic of her heart .The result of this exploration shows that her heart has a thickening on it and they think this is something that has been building up over a long period, they now are not sure whether she actually had a blood clot at all. Its all baffling and very confusing he says his next move is to order a full body scan to get a bigger picture of what is really happening with Lindsey this is scheduled for 10am on Frid morning.
