I wish we had better news to write about. Cindy started getting horrible sharp pains yesterday at two in the afternoon. Our doctors called in oxycodone but it had no effect. Cindy road the pain out as long as she could. We checked into the ER around 4:00 am. They were able to get he pain down to a 4 with dilaudid.
They did more blood test and a CAT scan. It appears she may have an infection causing the pain but our doctors are still working on it.
We were released and Dr. Hellerstedt prescribed morphine and dilaudid pills. They have had little effect and Cindy is still in horrible pain over a 10. They also prescribed antibiotics for the infection. I am monitoring her breathing and she finally fell asleep from exhaustion. Hopefully she will feel better when she awakes or we plan to check back into the hospital so they can better manage her pain.
I pray my next post will be much better news.
Thank you for all your support on the care calendar and prayers, Paul
