Sun13th Mar

Not much change today Lindsey is still largely immobile although has started to use her hands more and is trying to feed herself but she finds it very difficult and she still has no real appetite. The ward seemed to be very short staffed today and every time she pressed her buzzer for help she had to wait at least 15 min.. Lins is now off of the Heparin infusion and is taking Warfarin .  She has however been given an intravenous  infusion of    Potassium  which is important in the regulation of acid base levels, blood pressure,and building muscle tissue, People who have been in intensive care for a long period lose muscle tissue and can be chronically fatigued for a long time.Today's visitors were Nic David Ewan Belinda Richard Heather and Holly and of course me.
