Today we took a step backwards. He has been in tons of pain due to his stomach. They took him off his pain pump this morning. He tried having some orange Jell-O, grape juice and some pain meds by mouth but a couple hours later he threw them up. Which reallllllyyyy hurt. They then gave him pain medicine through his IV. He is again taking insulin. Tomorrow they told me that they will train me to test blood sugars and give insulin at home. (Thank goodness I have experts all around me if I need help.:) He hardly slept today due to the pain. This afternoon they showed me how to fill, monitor, unclog and manage the feeding pump. When he comes home IHC Home health care will come and give us another lesson when they set it up. He also had another chest x-ray we will find out the results tomorrow. The kids were supposed to come up tonight and have dinner and family home evening but he asked that they not come because of the pain. He hardly walked today and when he did he didn’t talk to anyone it hurt so badly. This is a hard blog to write today. I sit helplessly by and watch the person that I love suffer. How I wish I could take some of his pain. Love, Ricki
