I went into see Isobel at 5pm. She had a good day. She ate three quarters of her Weetabix,a yogurt and a pot of balanced supplement for breakfast. She had another pot of balanced supplement after. For lunch she ate half of the main course but none of her yogurt dessert. During the afternoon she had another pot of balanced supplement. She had drunk very well both late yesterday and today.

When I arrived Isobel was awake, having just been changed by the carers. Tea arrived at once and Isobel ate her main course very easily and quickly. We moved on to the high energy drink and Isobel began drink this fairly quickly. When she was about half way through, Iona arrived. Isobel finished the drink without problems. Iona took over and fed the yogurt dessert to her mother. Today was a very pleasant contrast to the desperate struggle of yesterday. Isobel was more alert, looking round the room, but unable to speak (although she indicated she did not want her book read to her). Iona and I sat and talked to Isobel for a while. When her bed was lowered to a resting position Isobel was still awake although showing signs of tiredness and looking as if she would soon be asleep. Iona and I went home at half past seven.
