Today was better. He’s having a lot of pain in his stomach. He’s still hitting the pain pump. Which actually has Dilaudid in it not morphine like I thought. Dilaudid is much stronger than morphine. Today they gave me a list of all of the medications he’s been getting Mefoxin (antibiotics), Heparin, Toradol (Anti-inflammatory), Novolog (Cholesterol), Nubain (itching relief), Zofran (anti-nausea relief), Dilaudid (pain relief), and Protonix (stomach acid reducer), he’s also had magnesium and some other things that weren’t on the list. They did not have to put the catheter back in, so he was excited.:) He also took a sit down shower, shaved, and put on a clean hospital gown and even hospital pants (darn no more mooning people:0). Yeah!! Love, Ricki

YEAH!!! Great milestones, although the loss of mooning?... I guess you have to take the bad with the good. Chris is creative, he'll think of something else. :)

I think happiest part of the latest report was hearing that Chris was able to take a shower and clean up...that always makes a patient feel much, much better.
