I went back to work today. That was a big change after weeks of going into the hospital every day.
Ruth had a tough day at the hospital. Jasmine was sick, and wouldn’t stick to her routine. She had to have her NG tube repositioned, which is always distressing. Also, there wasn’t an opportunity to do any training. Jasmine is still on continuous dialysis with antibiotics. She will be taken off dialysis at 6am tomorrow morning. They will then take a sample of the fluid from Jasmine’s peritoneum and send it off for analysis to check that the antibiotics have worked.
I came along after work and changed Jasmine and gave her a feed. She took all the feed, despite it being a monogen, liquigen cocktail. Jasmine has rather sunken eyes today, and a sunken fontnelle, indicating dehydration.
