A little background: on Monday, we got Angelique hooked up to an IV here at the house. They’re using dilaudid for pain medication. The initial dose was too small. Monday night was pretty bad.
On to yesterday—the nurse came over and adjusted the pump to a higher dose (she has a constant flow of meds and button she can press for an “instant” boost). Tuesday night was better, but she still awoke a couple of times in pain.
Then this morning, they came out again and upped the dose again. Mark & Tammy (her brother & sister-in-law) left this morning, and Ed & Monica (her parents) arrived. She has been able to move about the house and visit with her guests today. She’s high as a kite, but for the first time in a couple of months, she says she has NO PAIN!!!!
Again, thanks to Laurie Quitta for putting the idea of an IV into my head. This just may be what Angelique has been needing to get her pain under control. We’ll see how she does tonight.
Thanks for caring. Stay tuned…
