Carolyn 5.10.10 @ 10:05 pm

My mom just got home from the hospital and here are the updates:

They started the first round of chemo today. She is given it by injection once a week and also takes a pill daily. It's a lower dose chemo that should hopefully not have too many side effects.

Her immune systems is NON EXISTENT. At this time she is not even allowed to eat fresh fruits or vegetables since her body can't handle any of the bacteria that may be on it.

Now onto the most important part - Carolyn would love to have visitors but please read the following carefully:

IF YOU HAVE BEEN SICK OR HAVE BEEN AROUND ANYONE (WE MEAN ANYONE) WHO HAS BEEN SICK WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. YOU NEED TO POSTPONE YOUR VISIT.

EVEN IF YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE ALLERGIES BUT ARE NOT SURE - POSTPONE YOUR VISIT. HER IMMUNE SYSTEM CANNOT HANDLE ANYTHING RIGHT NOW!!! NOT A SNIFFLE, A SNEEZE OR A COUGH.

Thank you everyone in advance for being so understanding. Also, if you do go visit make sure to sanitize your hands upon entering her room and avoid hugs and kisses.

We know this is asking a lot, but even the smallest thing could really change her situation. Please remember to keep Carolyn and Ed in your prayers!
