I know how hard it is to hear someone has passed when you didn’t even know they were sick in the first place.. Cathy had a very benign sounding cold and light cough for about a week up until she felt more flu-like around Wednesday, January 30th. By Friday, she could hardly talk, and had become quite sick. When one of her careworkers came on shift, the careworker took one look at Cathy and called 911. By the time she hit Burnaby General Emergency ward, her oxygen levels were way down, her blood pressure also way down and she had a high fever. The staff in the ER were not sure she would get the through the night. However, Cathy was still fighting fiercly. (Being inseparable, her best friend of 33 years, Ed. had already been in the very same hospital for about a week before Cathy arrived. Ed is now home and missing his best friend terribly, still recovering himself from bronchitis and other issues I am sure you will all hold both Cathy and Ed in your hearts. ALSO, we want to thank all the staff, doctors, nurses etc at Burnaby General Hospital for their tireless, compassionate care they gave both Cathy and Ed.
