Making the best of it all, Carolyn using her new wheelchair in Boston! |
This past week Carolyn spent 4 days in Boston. She was given several tests to determine her strength and ability to undergo treatment. She passed them all and we are so happy that she will be starting treatment on Tuesday the 17th!!! She has gotten a wheel chair and it has provided to be very helpful for her to reserve energy. She is able to walk on her own, just not all day long. There was a lot of walking throughout the hospital and to and from hotel room. Someone from The Department of Homeland Security stopped her on the sidewalk and comped her 2 tickets to the Celtics/ Bulls game and she was able to enjoy some of the game!
I wanted to share a comment that was posted on the fundraiser board. While everyone has showed so much support I felt like this particular quote provided a good summery for the current situation.
"...... I had the privilege to work along side Carolyn and she was such a hard worker. She always made me laugh, no matter what mood she was in. This makes me feel very sad BUT you are a FIGHTER Carolyn, and FIGHTERS WIN! Don't ever give up hope we are all here for you and we love you! " ~ anonymous
Please continue to check blog for updates. This will be a big week, I am hoping and praying that Carolyn's body accepts treatment, bringing a smooth transition to healing.
Val, thank you so much for keeping us all updated on Carolyn. My family is praying for your family!
