Unfortunately Katie has not improved with the fluid. Her potassium and sodium levels remain abnormal and it now looks like her kidney function is getting worse. She remains as drowsy and nauseous, and unable to get on with any of the things she wants to do – like Evie’s portrait.
Clearly she did not make it to Manic Ceramics this afternoon but the children did and had 2 hours of fun with paint and clay. Meanwhile we had the Medical, Endocrine and Hospice teams to see us. There was a possibility of getting transferred to the hospice tonight but in the end the doctors decided there were still some tests that should be done and so she will stay on the busy medical assessment unit over the weekend. Hopefully it won’t be too noisy and the hospice bed will be kept for her till Monday.

I need to confirm numbers for the party early next week so if you are thinking of coming please let me know. It’s likely to start about 3.30/4pm and not go on particularly late as it is school the next day. If you just want to drop in for a couple of hours that is fine too.
