#40 - Almost there?

Today Philip almost got to the hospice but was pipped at the post at the last minute by someone sicker. He is #1 on the triage list.

We have worked out why he is sometimes confused: his oxygen saturation was down to 85% today but he sparked up when given a burst of oxygen through nasal prongs.

The hospital has promised to get him sitting up in a chair so he can use a small Chromebook. Also to wheel him out into the courtyard (which is a lovely space). But unlike Saturday when Canberra had 21 degrees of glorious sunshine, today has been cold and blustery, quite unsuited to outdoors.
