Temperature update-
Melissa and I sat at home this morning and went throught all the bills and cheque after cheque was filled in. A job I now have to learn. It was so easy to drop the envelopes on Colins desk in the study. Now a chore that I will have to take on..
Visiting hours, 4 pm. Colin is more aware today. His temperature has dropped to 37. I sit and chat and read the Scotsmand to him. I massage his feet and hands, they still feel hot. Moyra (todays nurse) monitors his temp every half hour. It is creeping up again.
Consultants have visited, the swabs have been in the lab since yesterday, but cultures take time. Antibiotics and medication is administered. Colin's temp remains the same. The windows are thrown open, sheets removed from bed. The air is pushed round his bedspace. Lets hope this works. I have work tomorrow so will phone before bed tonight and first thing in the morning.

ReplyDeleteWhilst shocked at the news of the accident I'm really glad to hear that Colin is becoming more and more aware and making progress. I hope this continues . I am also pleased that your reading has come on beacause the Scotsman has some big words.! Please pass on my best to Colin
