Hey Everybody!
March certainly did come in like a lion...dropping a decent amount of snow over various parts of New England. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I'm ready for spring!!
As I mentioned last time, Ken has begun hospice care. Lisa, his hospice nurse, is wonderful. She is a young, spunky nurse who fits into this crazy situation just fine! She is coming to see Ken daily. Primarily, her job is to check vitals, order medication and manage Ken's pain. She has ordered him a hospital bed and oxygen, both of which have made him much more comfortable. Recently he began taking liquid morphine, which makes it easier for Ken to breathe.
He has had many visitors in the past few weeks and we celebrated his 38 and 1/3 birthday! Brenda made Ken's favorite, carrot cake...AND Ken finally got that pony he's always wanted.
Again, thank you to everyone for traveling long distances, making food, and of course your continued love and prayers.
March is colo-rectal cancer awareness month. Please, please talk to your doctor about whether or not you should be getting an early screening...it truly could save your life!
XOXO Ken & Nicole
