Isobel slept through until 9am. Taking into account the change from BST to GMT this was twelve and a half hours of unbroken sleep. When the morning nurse arrived at 7am we decided to let Isobel sleep on, despite the risk of a wet bed, as she had been so tired yesterday. When she finally awoke the bed was wet but was quickly changed. Later on after breakfast I was distracted by the arrival of the district nurse and forgot to give Isobel her tablets until almost mid-day, this resulted in some ill tempered shouting and lack of cooperation at times, despite this the morning was not too stressful. Iona came over early as Jon was playing in Dulwich.

We had a late lunch and Jon picked Iona up on his way home. The afternoon passed quietly. For dinner Isobel had meat balls in spicy tomato sauce (cooked by Euan) but did not want any afters. For once preparations for the night went smoothly ahead of schedule and Isobel was settled down for the night, but still awake, before the changeover to the overnight nurse at 10pm. Isobel went to sleep shortly afterwards at about 10.20pm.

It is worth comment that Isobel has not attempted to leave the bed on her own at any time during the weekend. This is probably the single most important factor making this the most relaxed couple of days for several weeks. There were however signs today that suggest Isobel is beginning to be faecally incontinent as well as urine incontinent.
