Improvement

Niamh had a stable night and a relatively good day. She has been sitting up for most of the day, watching dvds and playing a little. She has been alert and interested in everything.

Her pressure sores are better. We are still changing her position every couple of hours through the night. Sitting up during the day helps.

The subdural drain has worked a little today so it is staying in for now.

Niamh is slowly getting back on feeds. She has been sick a couple of times today though.

She was very happy to speak to Emilie on the phone and made some sounds to say hello and bye.

Her heart rate is quite low this evening. The nurses are keeping an eye on it. The doctor says can be normal after surgery.

On the whole a very good day for a second day after another major surgery.
