Well Elaine is back in hospital. Yesterday (Sunday) was a repeat of Sunday about 5 weeks ago. She was great all last week, we cooked together and went to the plaza on Thursday afternoon. Then on Friday we went down to Peter’s at Scarborough for hamburgers, and they were as good as they ever were. Then Saturday was spent watching Lyla play (!) football and shopping for birthday presents. Then on Sunday it all falls apart and the infection shows it’s ugly head again.

Anyway the have started pumping her full of antibiotics and hydration so she will be home soon.

Me again.

Elaine is now home and fighting fit - that is slight  exaggeration but she has recovered well and is looking great. There are still issues but nowhere near those that preceded her visit to Hollywood. She is now moving around quite well giving me heaps.

So let’s hope that it stays this way, but the UTI will eventually return and require another visit to hospital to get loaded up on intravenous antibiotic.

Following last Sunday’s meltdown when Elaine was admitted to hospital in a very poor state we have had a week of treatment.

They started of with intravenous antibiotics and reducing some of the pills that the medical team felt were contributing to the issues. The UTI was the main problem but there were other problems related to that. Anyway the change is amazing and Elaine is now almost fighting fit, this lady had very good recuperative powers, enough to confound everybody.

Anyway she will be home sometime this week, at least that is the current plan. There has been some discussion about rehab etc, but we will see. In the mean time we have been busy organising some home help to make life a bit easier.
