"Unfortunately I ended up on ICU after my bowel surgery. My gut stopped working and as well as all the other treatments, I was put on parenteral nutrition. It was awful having to lie there not knowing how long I’d be there, if I’d make a full recovery, or even if I’d ever eat normally again."
"I was really scared when I found out there were complications with my bowel surgery and I needed to be on the ICU. I was so worried about what would happen to me – but the doctors were amazing and, thankfully, I’m now almost back to my old self."

Laurette received SMOFlipid as part of a package of care that aimed to support her nutritional status during her week on the ICU.2,6
"I was really ill when I was on the ICU and I didn’t know if I would make a full recovery – it was an incredibly scary and stressful time. I had to have parenteral nutrition to help to support my recovery and give my gut time to heal, which took some of the stress away. Now I’m eating normally again and feeling much more positive about my future."
