Intensive care (day 7)
Anita is becoing more awake each day. She is absolutely devestated that she hasn’t got her wish. She is crying all the time and I know she feels sorry for me. She has always said sorry and I always tell her its a wasted word. It’s never been her fault and she will blame herself more than ever after this. I smile at her, she smiles back but it turns to tears in an instant.
She keeps trying to pull the tube out of her throat as she gains more strength. Hopefully the doctors will review her and decide to pull it soon.
Her liver function has improved again slightly overnight. With all the blood tests showing improvements it’s really all now about how much more damage has been done to her neurological function. Lets be honest, even just lying in bed for a long time is going to cause problems. There is a great risk now to the mobility she had because her brain may have swelled. Also because she is never a simple case in hospital you never know what lies ahead.
