Day 21

Ellen has been a bit better over the weekend. Her temperature has settled and she has managed to drink some water and milk. She is however somewhat annoyed with being stuck in this room with her drip pumps that beep every five minutes. She has taken to shouting at us to 'call the nurse' whenever her machine beeps. When the nurses arrive Ellen gives them a rather stern look. The consultant was even told on the ward round today - 'doctor you are in the way MOVE'. The general consensus is that this behavior signifies that Ellen is feeling a lot better but is not feeling totally right. Ellen is still being very closely monitored and we are certainly not 'out of the woods' yet.
