Friday

A late posting of Fridays blog, I will be at the Centre again in half an hour.

I went in to see Isobel at 5pm. She was asleep when I arrived and had been very sleepy all day. She had not eaten anything all day apart from a few teaspoonfuls from a pot of balanced supplement. She had drunk a moderate amount.

When tea arrived I woke Isobel and Keith and Liz arrived. Isobel ate slowly, with long pauses between mouthfuls. After a while Keith and Liz left and I continued feeding Isobel until she had eaten three quarters of the main course. She remained half awake and over the course of another hour and a half she drank half a beaker of blackcurrant squash. She was desperately tired and finally fell deeply asleep. A further attempt to feed her was planned for 11pm. I left at 8pm.
