Ann Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I just got off the phone with Karen and she asked me to update you on Ken's condition. Ken told Karen that he did not want to participate in any more clinical trials and asked her to call Hospice. This request was very surprising to Karen, as Ken had been opposed to calling Hospice at this time. They have met the nurses and social worker that will be caring for Ken (and Karen). A doctor and nurse are coming to their house at 1:00 today. For the last four days, Kens appetite has been all but gone. Karen was able to coax into eating a small amount yesterday. Karen is so thankful that Kens pain is well under control. Their three children and Kens sisters will be arriving in Melbourne this week. Please remember Ken and Karen in your prayers. I will keep everyone posted as I talk with Karen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
