Corrine is currently at the hospital, but is scheduled to be discharged tomorrow. She was given 2 units of blood today, and it seems that the new pain regimen is working well. The tumor is proving to be very aggressive and is the cause of Corrine's internal bleeding. The doctors can not locate the specific source of the bleeding, nor can they stop the bleeding in any way. They also cannot be sure of the rate that she will continue to bleed. Currently Corrine seems to be losing blood at a 'moderate' rate. To put that in perspective, yesterday Corrine lost almost a full unit of blood. By God's grace, it seems Corrine may not have to face a long, drawn-out battle with cancer.
We met with the local Lutheran Hospice today and it looks like they will be a good match. They are close to home and come with good recommendations. Corrine is still in the process of making the final decision with the support of friends and family.
I have altered my plans and will continue to stay in Colorado so I can be as supportive as possible. In addition, my brother, Steve is planning to fly in on Wednesday.
Everyone is lending their support, which we really appreciate. Look for updates soon if you are looking for a way of supporting Corrine and her family. We will be creating a calendar and hope to find a more organized way for people to volunteer.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers!
