St Helier

Saturday on our way to St Heliers in Carshalton, they finally have a bed. Sheilas family on way and will meet us there. Sheila pleased to see them, but very dis orientated. Due to the renal problems.

We have to wait several hours for doctor to examine Sheila & take Ultrasound scan of abdomen. Registrar on his way. Doc also suspects a mild lung infection, so anti biotics ordered. Bad news, but expected, is, that the scan shows right hand kidney, is no good, probably packed up a while back. The left hand looks fine, no blockage, so no need for operation. But for some reason it has given up. Possibly had to work too hard on its own.
Could be another infection, so more anti biotics (renal) on order.
Only options now is to administer these and pray kidney recovers.
Nurses take various tests, and work out how best to get Sheilas bloods and levels back on track.She sleeps for most of afternoon and evening.
various infusions and painkillers administered.
Woke for a short time during early hours. so something happening.
What can I say. We will have to wait and see. Please pray to your god.
Thanks. bye for now.
