Had a long chat to Mum’s consultant yesterday and she emailed over a very detailed insulin care plan for Mum. She said there is a risk to Mum being cared for at home because Mum’s condition is very complex and complex decisions have to be made, often in stressful circumstances. Mum’s said she’s happy to live with that risk and simply wants to come home.

A small part of Mum’s care plan

The current plan is for her to be discharged tomorrow, but I’m not holding my breath. The ward doesn’t seem to want to let her come home until her insulin levels are perfect. Plus, every day Mum is in hospital is an extra day for Dad to recover. He seems a lot better now, judging by yesterday’s Happy Hour meeting.
