A note from the creators of 'Loving Corrine'

Hello, I'm Angela and I'm Corrine's number one fan, I'm Corrine's Daughter! I know how important it is that you know about how the people you care about are doing. Because Corrine is loved by so many people, we want to make that process as easy as possible. We thought that by creating a blog we would eliminate the e-mail chain and make it easy for you to follow her progress day by day. My husband, Rod, set up this blog today and I will try to make entries as often as possible. Some days, other people may post in my stead.

I usually reside in Tacoma, WA but I am hoping to be with Corrine as much as I can as we all go on this journey together. Thank you for coming along. Your prayers and encouragement are felt!

So, here is the update...

Corrine has been at Good Samaritan Hospital since Friday for pain management. She is in the process of working with the doctors and nurses to find a regimen that will enable her to manage the pain with oral medications that can be monitored at home. We'll be meeting with doctors and in-home care-givers tomorrow and if all goes as planned, she may be released.

Corrine is in the process of making important decisions about hospice care. There are several programs offered by Kaiser (her health insurance). We recognize the importance of this decision and pray the right hospice for her will surface.

For now, Corrine is celebrating Steve, Susanna, Camille and Anna's (son and family) decision to move to Arvada for a month. Due to Steve's ability to work from anywhere, and their desire to be close, they have sub-letted (rented) a place in Old Town, Arvada. Some shopping may be necessary to have the clothing appropriate for Colorado climate, since Chico, California doesn't get much snow. They are looking forward to spending time with friends and family in the Colorado area.

We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
