I went in to see Isobel at 5pm; she was asleep when I arrived. I brought in the zygocactus, it has come back into bud very quickly although it will only have about a quarter of the mass of flowers it had last time. She had indeed missed her lunch yesterday, she had eaten part only of her tea but had a pot of balanced supplement in the evening. Today she had not been sick; had eaten all her breakfast and a pot of balanced supplement; and had eaten both courses of her lunch. Isobel started eating a pot of balanced supplement in the mid afternoon but had fallen asleep after only a few spoonfuls. Isobel has drunk well today. When Isobel's incontinence pad was changed this morning a slight trace of blood was found; it is feared by the doctor that she has an urinary tract infection, a swab will be taken on her next visit. There is no sign that this is causing Isobel any discomfort.

When Isobel's tea arrived she was easy to wake. She ate the first course easily enough, but was clearly tired while eating her dessert. After she had finished her dessert we took a few minutes break before finishing the pot of balanced supplement started earlier in the afternoon; after this she was very tired and slept for almost an hour. I woke Isobel and she confirmed that after a drink she would like her book read to her. Isobel gave a few yes or no answers during conversation today. Isobel drank a beaker of blackcurrant squash with more than usual difficulty. She took a very long time to finish it, but I am certain this was only attributable to tiredness. I began to read to Isobel from The Hobbit, but after only two pages she fell fast asleep. I left the Centre at twenty past eight, narrowly avoiding running over a number of rabbits on the drive.

When I telephoned Isobel's mother and sister to update them, I spoke to Jessica and was surprised to learn that she had visited Isobel on Saturday; she found Isobel asleep and unresponsive throughout her visit.
