9/11/10

Marie was scheduled to have another topotecan injection that day. Getting her ready to go was slow and difficult. She needed help getting cleaned up and dressed. She couldn't do much of anything on her own. She just wanted to sleep. I planned on talking to the nurse that day about a social worker. My hope was that a social worker might be able to guide me in getting help for Marie so that I could still work every day.

It had been just a few days since we first discovered what we thought was a fluid leak. Maries' overall condition was deteriorating. She went from confused and disoriented to almost unresponsive. No appetite, throwing up, difficulty in waking up. She couldn't dress on her own. We needed help and I was hoping to find some.
