Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hello all:This afternoon and evening have not been as good for . I think has finally hit the wallthat I think everyone hits eventually. Her stomach is visibly swelling as it fills with fluids. Her pain has increased substantially and she was in a panic when it took the nurses too long to get her meds tonight. They cut her morphine down this afternoon so it started showing this evening I guess. This is the part she has been terrified of as she remembers the lack of pain control when she was 11 years old. I will have to watch over her closer as I thought things were OK with the pain control until now. Her mind also changed from very normal this morning to being more mixed up as to where she was, who was here, how long she had been here. She has not made sense at times and she kept thinking her dad was here. I think the amount of meds has pushed her past the tipping point and it affects your mind eventually.I am surprised she has done so well to this point. I am going to talk to the doctor about these things when he makes his visit at 6:15 in the AM.Also, I finally got a cot in here tonight as I'v been taking naps on the tile floor....thank goodness for the little things in life!All in all things are still good but we are in a little bumpy period right now. All your prayers are very much appreciated. She did walk past the 100 ft mark this afternoon!Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
