Kara is at Christopher House starting this evening. It is a part of the Hospice that provides 24 hour medical care. They will be making sure she's taking all the medicine she needs to take care of her pain and keep her comfortable. Kara's pain is mostly on the right side of her face and right eye, due to the large tumor behind her right eye. Having a stay at Christopher House will also give Keith a chance to get some much needed sleep. The Hospice folks say that usually people stay at the Christopher House for just a few days. Their goal is to get the meds in order, which they mostly are for Kara, and help Kara be back in the comfort of her home as soon as possible. Kara seemed fine about going there. She said, "I should get packed!"
Christopher House is a wonderful place for Kara to be. Because she is there to get her medications in order, Keith is asking that there be NO VISITORS while she is there. Those of us in her daily care will be there and Miko and Gregory can be there too. We will update you as soon as there is more information.
Here is some information about Christopher House:

Janice, thank you for your support of Kara and her family, and for your thoughtful updates. My son Joe cried a little yesterday worrying about Gregory, but I assured him that Gregory will be fine because his family has wonderful friends.
