Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Barbara Yep--I sure have. I've told Stacey that in addition to praying, we might need to email him too. So far today has been a quiet day. Stacey slept in between doses of meds. Not much of a day for her, but at least she was comfortable.

Hoping the doc will have some answers for you on Thurs.I'm not getting any more rest because she's needing pain meds about every 1-2 hrs, plus my pain is off the scale. She, at least, is getting some rest, and I see a forward movement into pain control for Her.Of course, life can't go smoothly, she had emergency surgery yesterday. I took her to the hospital to have her central IV line checked. It had been giving me fits, I couldn't get her meds or Iv nutrition to go in easily, and we hit the okay guys enough is enough stage. Well they x-rayed, and it didn't look right. We ended up putting dye into it which showed it wasn't in her heart where it belonged; it had flipped upward and out. She went to surgery immediately---actually they did it in Interventional Radiology using IV conscious sedation. Because of her pain issues and pain meds she's on, they weren't able to keep her totally comfortable, but luckily she doesn't remember too much. The doc had promised her that I could go with her and stay, and he held true to his promise. That, in itself, made a great impression on her. She's doing ok now, and her pain meds seem to be helping again. I just hope the manipulation on the left side of her chest doesn't cause any spread to thatside.Somebody stop this world---I want OFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
