Good morning, popped in with an update on Tegan,
After my shift yesterday morning the ward allowed me to sit with her again even though it wasn't visiting time, i stayed to about 10am then walked home for a bit of sleep before returning to her at 2.30pm.
Yesterday she was finally seen by the Gastro team & they have confirmed it is Crohns disease & at some point may need to operate
. Her iron levels are still dropping 8.9 so something will have to done about that, she still has a nasty urine infection that isn't shifting even with the IV antibiotics & unfortunately she still hasn't eaten very much.
Left her last night about 9pm, i'm shattered :sigh:. Spoke to her this morning she sounds a little bit brighter & managed to eat most of a weetabix really pleased about that. she over heard the nurse talking about her iron levels (??she things it was her they were talking about but nor 100%) she her it has dropped to 8.3, they have taken some more bloods this morning. I'll ask to speak to the doctor when i get back down there later.
Got an appointment with the occi health dept at 1.30 to discuss my mental state & to decide whether i should reduce my hours for a short period of time. I don't want to reduce my hours as that will cause my another problem with paying my bill, the NHS pay very bad & i can't take a drop in income.
Anyway that's where we stand at the moment, i'll keep you informed on Tegans progress.
Once again thank you all for your kind words & support.....xxxx
