I didn’t do a blog for this day, but here is what the hospital notes say happened……….

The way forward as recorded by an ICU consultant at 9.50am……………

Hip / Pevlis fixing to be done at Sunderland but can’t go there until other issues sorted. Needs halo (to ask Mr BXXXXX) then tracheostomy and closure of abdomen then wake up and assess c-spine and neurology and then transfer to sunderland

At 4pm, Karen was moved off the rotational bed, which meant for the first time since Day 2 she was not being held rigidly in place. Were she to be taken off the sedation, she wouldn’t feel as closed in and hopefully wouldn’t get agitated.

Patient shifted (log rolled) on to new bed. Hip appeared stable. Grade 2 pressure sores over both xx region with bruising. Grade 1 pressure sores over the right calf and thigh. Grade 1 pressure left calf

At 7pm, kp’s temperature was in check, so the cooling blanked was removed.
