Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Vacation's Done

On Friday Carolin was no better. Saturday was a little worse. She had persistent stomach cramps and diarrehea, couldn't walk and didn't have the strength to stand up. Saturday morning we decided to drive home. By Vancouver it was apparent this wasn't going to work. We grabbed a Westjet flight from Vancouver to Calgary and had an ambulance meet the plane.

Working through Emergency in Calgary isn't quick but it is familiar. 18 hours after we started she was admitted into the Foothills hospital. The diarrehea is continuing but she is much more coherent probably due to the saline IV. The feeling is that she has to get back on her medications (except the chemo). She's been avoiding them because anything in her stomach might make her problem worse. The balance is still off but that's the original brain tumour. Her strength is poor. Some tests aren't back.

I'll update later.

    I'm so sorry things "turned bad", especially on your holiday. Glad you are home now, and at least have the familiarity etc., and Carolin's regular doctors and so on. Think of you all, Rebecca

    Sandy, Caroline and Jessica, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Glad you are home and Carolin can see doctors who know her history and can care for her appropriately. I pray you will all have comfort during this time of trial. Jan WE2EBC
