Hi Folks there is another "lady" looking for love beware
Teri
Sorry folks been too tired to visit. Bert is beginning to pick up now his line has been removed, Still a bit confused but not nearly as bad. His Hb was quite low at 7.1 so he has had 3 units of blood I thought he was only getting 2 and now looks nice and pink. Better than the shade of grey he was looking.
As I said I am really tired just popped in to say Hi
Love Teri
They have found out that Berts infection is coming from his hickman line so it was removed rather swiftly as apparently the infection is a particularly difficult one to erradicate. Fingers crossed now that the line is out the infection will move. Bert looks really tired and is still confused quite a bit. ( He thinks we went out on the bus with the nurse on Sunday). But he needs another 2 units of blood tonight as his…
Well thank goodness it was not C- Diff again. However, he does have an infection in his line. He ate something today for the first time in 4 days but his temp spiked again just before I left, so more blood for culture.
We were just talking tonight and realised that he has spent 9 of the past 13 months in isolation in the hospital, He said he know the cows in the field by name now !! His blood counts are still at zero…
Well it was too good to be true, Today I went out for a couple of hours before going visiting so was about 2 hours later than I would normally go on a Sunday. When I arrived I was asked to wait in the day room as Bert was unwell, It seems he had diarrhoea and vomitting, confusion again along with a high temp unfortunately he woke up vomitting so never made it to the toilet,
He could not remember anything again, thought…
