New Update

I talked to Aunt June tonight - (6:45 EDT). She spoke to Carol in the hospital today. Carol told her NOT to come to Reno...to wait until tests have been done to see what's going on. (Aunt June was ready to make flight arrangements today.)

Carol has been in intractable pain the last few days and she may also have a bowel obstruction. Her stomach is very distended and she is in a lot of pain from that, as well. That will have to be further investigated.

She seems to be more comfortable now that she's in the hospital. Just the fact that she was able to speak to her mom on the phone is a big improvement from last night. She is on IV pain meds, of course.

I'm sorry I don't know which hospital she's in or how long she'll be there. I'm just grateful that she's there. The tests will get to the root cause of the problems, but most importantly they'll be able to manage her pain.

I got Don's cell# from Aunt June and gave it to Leslie. (Don, we may have to call you from time to time for info. Thanks!)

Leslie and I will try to keep everyone updated. As soon as we hear any news, we'll post it.

Love you all,
Ellen
