Ev is doing well at home :)

Evie has settled well at Mom and Paul's. She has a nurse and a PSW come everyday for the time being. An OT was also coming today. 

Her back is still healing. It's a process. She goes to the Cancer Clinic at KGH tomorrow to get some questions answered and hopefully a plan/timeline of treatments to come. [...]

EVIE IS COMING HOME!!!!

Ev is being discharged today. We all have some reservations about it. Yesterday she walked the furthest she has walked so far, down to the end of the hospital floor and back around and down. She stood to brush her teeth yesterday too. [...]

Evie is a FIGHTER!

J, Quinton and I saw Auntie Ev today for the first time since she's been home. Our house has been full of virus, after infection, after virus for the past few weeks (and months); we didn't want to see her earlier and give her our germs.[...]

From Cathy Feb. 12th

After hearing Brockville it was later revised to KGH...yeah! I just talked to her and they are getting her ready for her flight. She is excited to be coming home. I can't wait to see her. Now we have to be vigilant not to share any germs with her. I actually brought my mask back from San Diego with me. We'll have to play Quinton's peek-a-boo game from behind our masks! Welcome home Ev! Love ya![...]

honesty & waiting...

Evelyn's blood count and plasma go down too low basically everyday, and they are having to do many blood transfusions to keep them at a safe level. We held off on the "announcement" of the diagnosis Evelyn received of Multiple Myeloma, because at the time Evelyn hadn't been told, and they waited to tell her until she could talk and ask questions. Evelyn's friends are like her family, she cares for you and spends so much time with many of you, that I feel her friends deserve to know too. Also, Ev would tell several of you in a heartbeat herself if she could.[...]
