Day 7

Pippa has just reached Day 7. She is really struggling.

The doctors are giving her everything they can and it is just holding her stable. Her condition cannot be maintained indefinitely and she keeps losing ground. Eventually the medications won't be enough.

A last ditch cardiac catheter procedure is being planned for this afternoon to try and improve circulation and oxygenation from inside her heart and major arteries. It is extremely high risk but at this stage we have to go all in.

Pippa is a little cold this morning so it was time to break out more of Nana's knitting.

    Thinking of all of you. Much love Anna & family.
