Yesterday afternoon one of the Oncology Doctors (I think a Resident stopped by) and answered some questions. Curt took the long loop on a walk with me, and I practiced tube feeding on him. Angie left at 6:30 to go on a Girl Scout outing with Maddie. I got back to their place after 9:30.
I rode up the elevator this morning (before 9) with Dr. Chui and his Resident doctor. He was carrying what looked like a donut box and Thermos cup of coffee. We talked a little bit about Curt. Dr Chui and a couple Resident Doctors came by Curt's room later (after 10) and answered some questions Angie (she came after 9) and I had. I was wondering who our doctor would be in Corvallis, and he said it would be the Hospice doctor who could consult with Dr. Chui if needed. He thinks the holes in his mouth are from the tumor which has spread quite extensively like fingers in his head. Curt received 2 more bags of blood today to perk him up for his discharge tomorrow (hopefully by 11). The Bregars visited before lunch. Jef brought the girls here after church, and we all ate in the cafeteria. We all took a walk with Curt after that to a lounge room with a better view of the city and mountains. Another beautiful day! When we got back to the room, the Clems came for a visit. Everyone (except Angie and me) left about 3:30. Angie and I have played some Honeymoon Bridge today. The nurses keep telling and showing me things about his care. The Case Worker (or Discharge Lady) also stopped by. She contacted Hospice in Corvallis and talked to the nurse on call. This nurse called me on my cell phone and will arrange for the Hospice admitting people to meet with us tomorrow afternoon. The nurse today is gathering some feeding supplies for me, and we will probably get more tomorrow. We are still working on getting his liquid medicine lined up.
Right now Beth is flying stand by here on Tuesday morning and Angie will bring her to Corvallis. Jason and the boys will come from Thursday to Sunday (they don't have their tickets yet). Denny (Curt's older brother) and Sandy will drive to Atlanta from their vacation in Florida and fly here next Saturday until Wednesday.
I am running out of battery on Angie's laptop and better publish this. We need to go eat too.
