We showered and ate breakfast, fed and ran Ann’s dogs, (Pepper and Bella – who are missing their master), and drove the 35 minutes back to the hospital. Debbie had gathered some personal items together for Ann. We found Ann in much better condition than when we left her. Her potassium level had been reportedly very low so she was receiving medicines to bring this back to normal as well as pain medication was providing her some relief.
We are prepared to stay with Ann today however, it was also evident that there were things that needed to be attended to at the house, so I left Debbie with Ann and I returned to the house to prepare it for winter and repair some minor things. Ann has many friends and it wasn’t long before a steady stream of well- wishers came and went throughout the day.
Late in the afternoon the decision was made that Ann needed to be transported to Halifax. A team of surgeons and specialists would preform the necessary operations there. At about 8:30 pm the EHS personnel arrived to prepare her for the five-hour journey to Halifax. Her brothers, Robert and James, and Debbie and I said goodbye, wished her well and told her that we will come down to Halifax to see her in the hospital. Ann has insisted that we attend to the Celtic Colors festival. She has purchased the tickets and wants us to go.
