Well hello everyone
I have great news.......Flick is doing great she has been moved to a ward so she is no longer in ICU.
I have just got home so i can give you the most updated post.
Here goes........She is fully awake, she knows that we are there but her memory is very short term so everytime we go back to the room we have to tell her who we are, once we have done that she is fine again. She is also very scared as she can't remember where she is or why she is there. She is also very scared everytime someone enters the room so it is slowly as we go. She can't speak as her throat is still very sore.
She is having a problem with food as per the sore throat so the only drip she has in now is nutriants but she is no longer on the morphine.
If you want to go into to see her you have to tell her who you are and how you know her. But please remember that she is scared and it can be scary for you because she is so vague. So please be patient with her.
She at 6 west room s2. This means you have to go to the 6th floor via the blue lifts, turn right out of the lifts then left at the end. If you are coming in could you please let us know via the nurses station the number is 9345 5644. The nurse will let us know as soon as we return if we are not there when you ring. You will need to give us some notice as she still has to have tests so we may not be back to the ward for some time.
I know we still have a long way to go so I will try to keep you updated. But i will say this.......THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND WISHES AND YOUR SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE THING AS YOU DON'T REALISE HOW MUCH YOU TOUCH SOMEONES HEART UNTIL SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS.
More than anything else........Thank you to all of Flick's, Tiffani's and my friend's who have helped us deal with this. But more importantly Thank you to those people who don't know us and who have posted their warm wishes from around Australia..(sorry if this last piece doesn't make sense but you really can't put into words what you want to say).
Kindest regards
Sandi
