A New Dress Code!

Hi everyone (we hope),

We've heard that the email has decided to drop people off the list so we've used an older list, hopping to have everybody included. Here is an update.

As you know, George is in the Pasqua Hospital in Regina, undergoing chemo therapy. Due to some difficulties with his kidneys, the doctor has decided to stop chemo for about a week. His kidneys are now responding in a healthy way and they are hoping to start chemo again on Monday or Tuesday.

In the meantime, he picked up one of the hospital super-bugs, Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE, for short). The primary concern with VRE is diarrhea. Because of this, he has been moved to a private room. Some people will do anything for a little privacy. He is in isolation so if you would like to visit him, be aware of the safety precautions set up for him. You shall wear a lovely yellow gown and matching gloves and put all your belongings in a beautiful transparent handbag. All of these accessories are provided, free of charge, by the hospital.

George is tired but is taking each day as it comes. He is enjoying daily visits with Ev and Janice, who lives ridiculously close by. Tonight we watched an episode of Survivor together. It's like a major sporting event replacement for our family.

Thanks for reading,
Ev and Janice
