DAY 171 - 25th January, Saturday

Keri woke up quite late again. She didn't go to bed until early this morning. The staff tried repeatedly to get her up but gave up after a while. They knew Keri would get up when she felt she was able to.

I've spent most of the day trying to search for Natalie (one of our oldest alters) and Keri has spent most of the day with her little brother. Jamie cut Keri's hair so that she no longer looked like she had a mop on her head. They chilled out and watched TV, did some shopping in the supermarket, escorted by staff. As far as I'm aware Keri enjoyed his company, although of course I can't say that for certain as I was a bit busy myself. She normally does like him visiting though so I don't see why today would be any different.

Tonight Keri was getting extremely depressed again. She went out to smoke to find Ade and Gemma sat smoking on the bench. In the end they invited her to have a game of Scrabble in the foyer. The game went on for over an hour! Keri lost but she didn't mind. She had her medication an hour late and sat outside with Ade after the game to smoke. He said that Keri seemed a little more alert than yesterday and Keri said it was because of the time she'd spent with staff rather than all her concentration being on Sally and her criticism.

Unfortunately Keri is back in her room again but I'm hoping she'll spend some more time with Ade and Gemma tonight, whether sitting in the office or playing a game with them. The less conversation with Sally the better off we are. Keri's CPA is in 6 days. There's still a 100% probability that Sally will have disappeared by then, at least once, or cut Keri to the point she needs stitches (which isn't helping her iron levels which are already low). 

I'm hoping to find Natalie tomorrow. I'm giving it another shot for Keri's sake. 

TRIGGER WARNING - scars, stitched wound and dressed wounds in the photo.

P.S. Keri's new hair. She's pretty happy with it. One of the bonuses of having a little brother who does hairdressing!
