Back at home

Anette is back at home. She was released from the hospital yesterday evening. The medical procedure to put in an abdominal catheter is scheduled to take place on Monday next week as an outpatient procedure. It is most successful when it's time to perform a paracentecis and her abdomen is full of fluid.
It was decided yesterday to have hospice care given at home. Many people have asked us why we haven't had hospice care in the past. Hospice care is only available when you no longer benefit from cancer treatment and you are expected to live 6 months or less. Anette has been receiving cancer treatment, most recently clinical trials, until last week.

Anette's sisters Bridgitte & Margret and brother-in-law Siefried S. visited us over the weekend. It was nice to see them again.
