Discharged from Hospital

Discharged from Stanford Hospital
Aloha Gang-Beck here.

Emalia was discharged from the hospital Tuesday evening and is recuperating at the nearby guesthouse of some lovely Palo Alto/Atherton people. She is moving slowly and has some pain, but it’s getting better day-by-day. Emalia will meet with her oncologist next week to discuss future treatment plans, but everything in on hold for a few weeks while she heals.

After 2 cancelled flights dad, Zadoc made it to California and is with the family. Dorien Romanchak is also here helping Em to transition out of the hospital.  The amazing Aunty Rochelle is taking care of Kahala- she is a godsend.

How’s Em doing? What can I say; we all love her because she is so Em, and she remains just that way even in this hard place: gracious, concerned about Kahala, sometimes joking, sometimes quiet and tired, but always her loving, quirky self. To quote JB, she is such a trouper.

The outpouring of support from all of you has been truly awesome.

  1. "Stoked" that Emalia is making that sign. It's the same one Uncle Terry gave me when he took off on a wave when he was teaching me how to surf . On the BIG WAVES at Queens. Nearly drown now that I recall that day, oh so many years ago. Sending undying support to my Hawaiian family ~

  8. Hi Emalia,
    I am happy to see that you got through the surgery, even though the results were not what we all wanted for you. Cindy and I are planning a Maui trip in February, and we look forward to seeing you and your `ohana then.
    Love Kenny and Cindy
