Do you know that life always changes? Plans never hold? Well, I thought I knew that before, but apparently God is assuring me that it will continue to happen 🙂
It looks like we will be here at LGH until late today or sometime tomorrow, or sometime Monday. We just don’t know. Yesterday we finally met with the pain management team who is putting Kev on a variety of medicines to get his pain and nausea under control. As of this morning, he only had to hit the PCA pain pump button two times in over 12 hours!!! Also, he has been having very minimal gagging, which indicates that the nausea medication may actually be working. AWESOME. We are both very excited about this. They’ll put everything that is currently being given via IV into a pill form or other way so that we can head home with it and have no problems adjusting. Wahoo!
Dr. O’Connor decided to hold off on the chemo Friday because of the ongoing bleeding. It looks like he will get his chemo treatment on Monday, so it will not be too delayed.
Our hope is that the pain management Dr. will give the ok this afternoon that we can either head home tonight or tomorrow in seeing that these medications seem to be working. So awesome.
Continue to lift us up in your prayers as we head home and make the necessary medication adjustments. Also continue to pray for Kevin’s heart rate to come down to a “normal” level so the nurses stop pestering-hehe. The higher heart-rate is “normal” for Kevin by the way.
Continue to lift up my issues with my bank and heels as well, as they are both pretty agitated right now. Pray that doors open for a job in the next few weeks as we really need the funds. Also pray that doors open for government assistance through the US as I will begin to apply in the next coming weeks.
Thinking of you all!
