Update #2

Carolin's still in the hospital and it looks like it might be Monday before she gets out. Her spirits are good and she looks great (except for the knees), but the diarrehea continues. They're using some high power drugs to slow things down but they didn't have any effect until today. Things MIGHT be slowing down.

Yesterday she had a CT scan of her liver. The cancer there has shrunk substantially (Yeah!!) but it also showed she had air in her stomach. The only way to get that is from a perferated bowel. Because she doesn't have any symptoms of pertonitis, they are just going to wait and see if it has fixed itself. Meanwhile she has surgeon residents dropping by to check on her stomach pain (or lack of it) quite often.

Sorry about the delay in the updates but the internet connection died here at home.
