The bowel obstructions aren’t clearing up - I’ve had to have a venting g-tube placed in my stomach to empty stomach contents from building up. My oncologist is giving me approximately six months. Things are progressing and the prognosis isn’t great. I recently spent two weeks in the hospital with small bowel obstruction and kidney failure amongst other problems. I’ll leave you with this video from her 30th birthday, just months before she got her 2nd diagnosis. Both this blog, and Bomb in My Belly (chronicling life after her initial diagnosis) will remain open. I know she’s left a big hole in my life and I can only imagine in many of yours, too.įor those wondering, we had a funeral November 15 in Cobourg, Ontario and a celebration for life November 28. She was an inspiration, a help, and a friend to many of you. She moved into hospice on November 7 and passed shortly after on November 13. There were many more who tried and tried to get a visit in, but timing just didn’t work out. She had family with her 24 hours a day, and many friends visiting. There was an infection that required IV antibiotics - she required around the clock care and we were told that it was most likely that she only had a couple of weeks to a month left with us.
Unfortunately, she was only home for a couple of weeks before needing to be hospitalized again. Plans were made for gradual visits from family and friends - a celebration of life for Alicia was in the works so that she could hear all the sweet things everyone had to say.
She wasn’t ready, but her medical team felt that she needed care that couldn’t be provided at home.Īfter her hospitalization where she learned she had six months left, she came home for a couple of weeks. Alicia went into Hospice at the beginning of November.
