I went in to see Isobel at 5pm. She was awake when I arrived and just about to start being fed her tea. It had not been possible to wake her for breakfast, but later she had eaten a pot of balanced supplement. She had eaten her lunch and another pot of balanced supplement after.

Isobel ate the main course of her tea quickly and easily. Then she drank a glass of high energy drink. Finally she ate her yogurt dessert. Altogether this was a very comfortable meal for Isobel, eating efficiently and without any difficulties. When she had finished eating I tried talking to her but she was not able to make any reply, although she seemed very relaxed. I read to her from her book until she fell soundly asleep. The nurse mentioned that for the past couple of days it has been very easy to give Isobel her medication - this is not always the case I know. I sat with Isobel until half seven, but then left in order to mow the lawn before the light went.
