Back in Hospital!

I'm afraid Kayla is back in hospital. She has lost nearly 10% of her body weight and is very dehydrated.

The dehydration must have been caused by kayla's course of antibiotics that made her very queezy which killed her appetite and in addition to this she forgot about changing her HRT patch which made her sweat for England.

As this combined problem progressed she became bed ridden, fatigued and confused (but forbid me to phone the hospital!)

By Thursday morning enough was enough and she was sooooooo weak that she didn't put up too much of a fight to stop me phoning.

She was re-admitted and put on a drip once a host of tests had been undertaken. Her bloods are good, so is her heart and all the other bits they tested seemed OK. Swabs and cultures will take a few days................ but I feel she is in the best place, and the staff at St Marks are fantastic!

The medical team are going to get her rehydrated and then fathom out why the weight loss.

I may not have the brains of Einstien (Just the dashing good looks) But I feel I Know the mystery behind her post TPN weight shedding extraviganza.....................It's simple Kayla eats a very healthy almost fat free diet made up of mainly fruit, salad and veg. She hates all the fatty stuff that she has been told to eat. Problem is, that with 66% less intestine and so 66% less absorption than the average human being she is gonna have to eat 66% more lard, fat and chocky just to break even! See I worked it out all by my self.....Not rocket science more like surface area physics crossed with a bit of plumming!

I am sure that with time she will come around to the fact that she is facing another "life changer" yep her darling diet will have to change forever. It is soooooooo ironic that most peeps get told to "cut out the fats and calories" Kayla is gettin told to "stick em in!"

You wanna see her face when forced to drink full fat milk!!! talk about Nikki from Big Brother!!!!!!! " I want bottled water......bottled water.....not greasy MILK!

Bless her!

She had had one bag of fluid and was sleeping peacefully as I left last night......... I hope to see her much perkier today after a night on the saline!

Take Care
