Still in the hospital

This is Olivia, and I wanted to let everyone know what is currently going on.

Sharon is still in the hospital at St. Vincent's. Yesterday she had an angiogram to evaluate the options for further treatment of the cancer. The angiogram showed that she meets the critera, but based on her current health it is not a good choice for right now. Since the angiogram she has been more confused. Because of the confusion she will not be discharged today, which had been the plan. We are getting everything prepared at home for when she is discharged from the hospital.

Currently we(Aleyna, Gary and Olivia) are spending lots of time with Sharon at the hospital, being advocates for her care and evaluating the best choices for proceeding.

We really appreciate all the love and support we are receiving. We wanted to respond to all the kind offers to come visit Sharon in the hospital, and to let everyone know that at this point visits are not a good idea. I will definitely let you know when we feel it is a good time.

I will try to keep everyone up to date as frequently as possible; I know that not knowing can cause a lot of angst.
