We have made Corrine as comfortable as possible in her new 'bedroom.' She has had a very hard day with the stress of coming home, getting all of the equipment bought or rented and placed appropriately, and getting used to her new care-givers (currently Don and Angela with help from friends and family). It is a steep learning curve! Thank you to everyone who made it happen.
We did finalize our relationship with Hospice and have already needed to contact the on-call nurse to get help with her pain control. They were very kind. One of Corrine's regular nurses meets with us tommorrow to further assess her progress and make adjustments as necessary.
Corrine was not able to eat today, but is still able to drink and swallow her pain medicine. We will see what tomorrow brings.
To be completely honest about her situation, the doctors are estimating her time with us to be very short (one doctor said it was likely to be a few days to a few weeks). That makes it a quick adjustment for those who love her.
As of right now, visitors are welcome (she really likes the support), but please call before you come... Thank you for your understanding!
