Day 38

Ellen is doing fine. She is a great deal brighter. We have managed to play lots of games and spent much time walking around the hospital grounds. Ellen has also put a sterling effort into being allowed home. She asks a member of staff at any given opportunity and even tried to bribe her consultant by blowing him a kiss this afternoon. It has eventually worked as we hope to be allowed home for a few hours over the next few days with the aim of going home by Tuesday.
