Acupuncture and Indian head massage.
Hello.
Firstly, thank you so much for all your messages! I've been sending them in to Charlotte every day (she's been getting about 4 or 5 emails or comments each day) and it's really cheering her up! I expect it's quite easy to feel isolated and forgotton about when you're in hospital for 3 months, but it's nice to know that she has so much support and encouragement, as she starts to get better, this is the time she will need it most.
Charlotte's sickness still hasn't subsided and they think this could be linked to an inflamation of her gut, which is also causing the stomach pains (thankfully no gall stones). She was very pleased to hear yesterday that her wounds on her back are looking considerably better. She will go in to theatre today (infact, she'll be in now, as i write this) to have more skin grafting done on her back, which is good news because the sooner her wounds are covered, the better chance she has of not developing any more infections! And the sooner she'll be home!
One of the surgeons yesterday guestimated 6-8 weeks before Charlotte can be moved nearer to home, which is far less than we had imagined :) It goes to show what a little trooper she is, and also, what an amazing team of doctors and nurses there are at Broomfield! Thank you all so much for taking such good care of Charlotte and not only that, but befriending her and showing her so much emotional support. She absolutely adores you all (even the physios!!!)
Charlotte had acupuncture on Tuesday to try and ease her nausea and an indian head massage which made her feel relaxed and happy. I think it's lovely that those were organised for her, something a bit out of the ordinary is always good in these situations i suppose.
There's not really much else to say today. She's doing well, still very down but she is picking up vibes from mum and the nurses and doctors, that she's doing really well and is definitely on the mend and i think that's giving her a bit more motivation to hang on in there.
I'll keep you posted!
