Carole

Hello All,

I set this up so that we could share info on Carole's progress.
Please post any new info that you care to share, and feel free to correct any info that you feel
is not accurate.

I think most know that Carole was taken to Emergency last Saturday afternoon. She had been feeling like crap for a few days, very fatigued, and a high fever.
They ran some tests, and moved her down to the VG. She was kept overnight, and they want to keep her in this week to do more tests, and do what they can for her comfort.
When I was in on Sunday, she was actually not doing too bad considerring. She said that her pain was under control, and she was just very tired, and you could see that the drugs were making her a bit dopey.
As of Monday, she was having a bad day, and her breathing was laboured, and she was in pain.
She requested no visitors, and was sleeping quite a bit.

Her liver is swollen, and there are ulcers causing some bleeding in her stomach.
She has an infection in her blood, and there is fluid and some tumors in her lungs.

Natacha flew in this morning, and I will hear from her later today and will post any new info.

There will be things people can do to help in the coming weeks and months to help, so think of what you have to offer, and we will work on making this a coordinated effort.

I would love to be able to stop by and see Carole whenever she is up for visitors. Can you let me know. Thanks. She is in my thoughts.
