Charlotte-a-tot
Hello everyone
I am now back from Glasvegas, but have only managed to see Charlotte for 2 days since i've been back. When we arrived she wasn't too well, and as Rachel mentioned below, it turned out that she had contracted menigitis again. She was very disorientated and was lacking in Oxygen, finding it very difficult to breathe. This was partly because of the silicon bed she has been lying on for the last few weeks, which is great for healing her wounds, but also squashes her shoulders inwards (as you can imagine, she is effectively lying on air, and so she 'sinks' into it). This made the fact that she had fluid in her lungs even more problematic and she will most likely have to be moved from this bed, and nursed whilst lying on her stomach so as she can breathe properly and so she is not putting pressure on the wounds on her back, thus allowing them to heal more effectively.
Charlotte's temperature has been very high for the last few days and we have all been very worried that this was a sign of yet another hit of septicaemia, but she appears to be stabilising now, and is a nice and cool 36.6 (rather than the 38.9 she has been reaching). She is definitely feeling much better, and therefore being more demanding! Mum is coming home tonight and Charlotte will spend the next few days with Dad.
DONT FORGET ABOUT THE FUNDRAISER ON SATURDAY!
Please come along if you have the time. I have been roped into singing again. Having just had an exam i haven't been practising... at all, so it should be amusing for you, mortifying for me! :)
There will also be scrumptious food and goodies being auctioned off (there is a blog entry detailing the venue/time/price etc but if you need anymore info, email me at sophie@charlotterobinson.org and i'll fill you in)
So all is good! and hopefully, getting better now! It's just ridiculous how many times Charlotte has been ill, fingers crossed she is able to carry on healing and take at least 3 steps forward before there are any stumbles!
See you on saturday!
