Hello
Carol's discharge home was postponed. The Dartmouth-Hitchcock palliative care team wants to make sure that her picc line and medication regimen are well established before sending her home. The tentative plan is for Carol to be discharged tomorrow.
Family are still arriving from out of town. Carol rested this afternoon after a foot massage and is planning to meet with newly arrived members of her family later this evening. She is alert and comfortable. I could hear laughter in the background while I was on the phone with Sue.
Carol will be transported via ambulance and have quite a procession following her when she goes home. Her parents are planning to stay in the Bennington area along with other family members. Sue and Beth will be Carol's primary caregivers and stay at the house with Carol.
The house has been well prepared and, according to Anastasia, looks beautiful.
Carol's niece, Sarah, will print out copies of your weebly messages so that they can be read. There are now 84 posts. I will forward future posts to Sarah, who will be "managing the technology" from now on. Carol is not accepting phone calls or texts on her phone as it is too much to manage.
Please continue posting and, above all, send Carol wishes for a safe and successful trip home tomorrow! Sue will call me tomorrow with an update.
Warm regards,
Barbara
