Saturday

Carole was having Colton down tonight overnight.
I think someone is cooking something for them, and I suspect they
are getting a movie.

I did not talk to her, but was with Colton and Paul and heard she was feeling a bit better today.

Wednesday

I stopped in at lunch Wednesday and Carole was awake and doing OK considering the infection. She is still tired, but I was able to stay for a half an hour, and she was fine. I sometimes bore her to sleep, but must have had some good material for a change.

She had mentioned that Paul was bringing Colton down that night, and that Mario might be coming over as well.

No exciting news, but from what I had heard from people on earlier visits, she did not seem as tired. So it seems that the worst of the recent blood infection is behind her.
Hopefully she will continue to have more energy, so we can get her out again, even if it is just for a few hours at a time.

Tuesday

Carole is still extremely weak and tired with the infection. I was in for a 15 minute visit this evening and her eyes were closed most of the time, though she is more alert, just really needing rest. She had some soup and cereal today which hopefully is helping to get her strength back up as that is what she will need to help her fight this infection.

Carole has a blood infection again, like she had when she was first admitted back in November. I don't have any details other than that she is hooked up to antibiotics. I was talking to her on the phone and she was extremely groggy and sleepy and actually fell asleep mid conversation - I called the nurse from my cell and had them check on her to make sure that what all that had happened. The conversation was not good, much of it didn't make sense, though she did tell me about the infection and that it had started last night. She doesn't want any company tonight but check tomorrow, though I guess call for sure before dropping by.

Sorry for the lack of posting!

Busy times in February, and the weather ain't helping any!

Anyways, I was in to see Carole on Tuesday, and she was doing OK. She had a bit of a sore throat, but no indication yet that it was anything too bad.

I think Big P was in to see her on Wed night.

A few of us who have been calling her have mentioned that the phone often rings and rings but no answer? I suspect just bad timing, as maybe Carole is down the hall or in the washroom. I know that I have told her that if she does not feel like talking or wants a nap, just turn the ringer off.

I just tried her a few minutes ago, and no answer. I will try again later to check on the sore throat situation and see if she needs anything.

So to those who follow along this blog, Carole is doing OK, and there has not been anything major to report on I guess. I will try to post more as myself and others visit etc, so that people know she is getting some help when she needs it.

Hopefully another daytrip home or other excursion soon.

A steak at the Mic Mac Tavern

Carole and I had talked recently about a good steak at the Mic Mac sometime soon.
I had suggested this weekend, but with all the Valentines stuff going on, it might have been too crowded.

She suggested a week night maybe sometime soon.

Just a thought if anyone wants to get out for a good steak.
I haven't been there in years.
They are known for good steaks, and are not super expensive.

I hope to get in for a quick visit tomorrow (Sunday) and will post anything new

Wed Feb 11th

Carole and I (Kari) went to a movie last night. She seems to be a bit more tired and in a bit more pain than she has been in the past few weeks. Her stomach has started to swell a little and is making her uncomfortable. She was pretty tired by the end of the night, but we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Tuesday

Carole is thinking about going out to see a chick flick tomorrow evening, so she may not be around...you may want to call before popping by. If all goes well I (Kari) will be picking her up a little after 5pm to take her for a bite to eat and a show at Park Lane. She said that her hemoglobin is down a bit, so the hospital staff are watching it closely and she is trying to pace herself...

Monday

I (Kari)was talking to Carole briefly at lunchtime. She was waiting to be picked up by a friend, Ian so that she could go home for the afternoon. She went to a movie yesterday with Colton and said that she had a good day. I am guessing that she won't get back to the hospital until close to suppertime today. Not sure what her dinner plans are.

Saturday

Carole went home today for about 5 hours. She spent some quality time with Colton and Amber and had a chance to gather some things to take back to the hospital with her..all and all a good day- though I am betting that she will sleep well tonight. Tomorrow she is planning to go to a movie with Colton and maybe out for brunch.

Her swelling has gone down tremendously...she is now back into her regular clothes and is feeling pretty good of late...let's keep our fingers crossed that this continues for a very long time!

This weekend

Carole might get home for a visit over the weekend, so if anyone is planning a visit, be sure to call ahead so you don't waste a trip.

Monday night

Carole and I (Kari) had a mini greek fest last night with some treats from "It's All Greek to Me"...She is spending more and more time out of her room (likely where she is if you are trying to call)...I don't think that she is napping as much so maybe if you are talking to her check on the noon-3 pm "no call" time as she may not need it anymore while she is feeling so good.

A Craving

I (Colette), forgot to mention that during our conversation saturday, Carole let it be know she has a hankering for bacon wrapped scallops..........damn that woman has taste. So, if anyone can do this great, if not, I'll endeavour to get some to her this weekend.

Groundhog Day

I (Kari) was just talking to Carole. She is still feeling really good and seems to be full of energy. I am going to bring down dinner tonight around 5pm.

Sunday

I was down to see Carole around lunch.

Rhonda was bringing Colton down in the afternoon, and Mario is bringing some dinner over. They were going to watch a rented movie.

So, use discretion if planning a visit tonight. Sounds like she is entertaining family.

I plan to check in with her on Tuesday afternoon about some dinner, but am tied up Monday night (exclusive Ground Hog's Day Celebrations).
