visiting hours...

Rachael update Sunday Nov 20th:

Nothing really new medically to report... other than the fact that a couple of side effects are really starting to catch up with her. Mainly the fatigue and nausea... which brings me to my next point....

Because Rachael has now begun treatment, which officially marks the beginning of her battle with this cancer, she tires much more easily now. So we are setting up a "visitor schedule" so that she can keep up her strength and kick cancer's butt. It may sound strange to think that anyone could get worn out laying in bed talking to friends, but trust me it's exhausting for her.

We must also start setting time limits- not only on the length of the visits, but also to make sure she gets a break in between guests...

So starting now, family only days are Mondays and Thursdays.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays- visitors may only come between 3p-5p, and 7p-9p.
Saturdays & Sundays visiting hours will be from 1p-4p, and 6p-9p. And please be mindful to call or text first to make sure she feels up to having company. Thank you so much for understanding and helping do what's best for Rach. ♥ ♥ ♥

  1. Rachael Hi there, this is Jim MacDonald, one of your public health classmates. I'm sorry I hadn't heard of what you are dealing with until this weekend, when we were all in class together. I am praying for you, and thinking of you a lot. Hang in there!!!! Happy thanksgiving, yours, Jim
