Re: CD Member in Hospital

I thought I'd update the gang here as there have been a few changes in Karen's situation in the last couple of days.

First, I printed out all your replies so she could read them in the hospital. She enjoyed them very much. She wanted me to tell Amanda Morrison that she too smells like a moose. It is a side effect of some of her medications. I also inadvertently cut off Eugenia's post. I'll be sure to include it next time!

Yesterday, she was officially "discharged" from the hospital. But really she just moved downstairs and "checked in" to the "nursing home" on the first floor. Patients there are expected to do more to take care of themselves. But she is still plugged into the IV machine and she still gets tired very easily. Just getting up to go to the bathroom is a major effort. She doesn't seem to be in as much pain but the doctors have some suspicion that her illness is more serious than originally believed. We are waiting for some test results to find out for sure what is going on.

We looked into taking our laptop to the hospital so she could join us all again, but before anything can be plugged in there, the hospital engineering department has to approve it. Then she would have to unplug either the bed or the IV machine. It would also tie up the phone line she shares with a roomate. All in all it doesn't seem to be worth it, so we'll have to get along without her for a while longer. Easier for you than for me.

Thank you for your prayers, something does seem to be happening, though not nearly as fast as we would like.

ChrisH
