Kol admitted to RUH
After a CT scan, Kol has been admitted to Royal University Hospital. Apparently a blood vessel in the tumour burst, which caused increased pressure, which in turn caused the pain and nausea. Kol is being given dexamethazone to reduce the swelling in his brain, ondansetron to deal with the nausea, and Tylenol to help with the pain and mild fever. Hopefully he will only be here for a couple days. Kristen and I (and Annika) will be staying in the city with him.
