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![...]

We just heard that Evelyn is coming home tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a bed in ICU at the Brockville Hospital - which was not our first choice - but we have been told it will be easier to get her into KGH once she is in Brockville.[...]

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.[...]

An Ooops.

We found out on Wednesday that the Doctors at the San Diego Hospital called Ev's doctor in Brockville (last weekend!) and were told he could help get her into the Brockville hospital - since he has doctor privileges at that hospital. Since they were told this, they didn't even have Ev on the list for the Kingston General Hospital. Very frustrating. [...]

Oxygen & More blood...

Hi Everyone, 

Sorry for the lack of an update yesterday and today - my son and I are sick with severe inner/middle ear infections & fevers. I have had a few people asking for an update, forgive me but it's easier to do in one place. [...]

Prayers & positive thoughts needed...

Mom is worried about leaving today. She wishes there was a confirmed plan for WHEN Ev is being transported to a hospital here. 

The social worker has recommended she keep her flight though. She leaves later this morning, though she will see Ev before she leaves. [...]
