Megan continues to really struggle with pain and nausea. She had an awful night and the nurses were very busy. This was the very first negative experience with a nurse. We are glad to have Lindsay again this morning. Dr. Tomayo ( and entourage) came in. Dr. Tomayo is very happy with Meg's progress overall. He is trying lower doses of nausea meds but more often. They have taken away the toradal for pain because you can only have it for five days. They have taken away the background iv pain med and she is on a 100 mg. Fentanyl patch. Now they have ordered the morphine tablets for breakthrough pain. Unfortunately they have not yet arrived. Another kind of miserable day.
The good news is that Megan was moved to a different room - away from the roommate from h$&@! Also, the nutritionist is meeting with Meg at 11 tomorrow. And at 2 pm we are to go to a class on tube feeding. The person who teaches about diabetes/insulin came by today. Meg felt so awful that she just listened. But I practiced giving shots to a sponge! Somehow, I think giving Meg a shot is going to be a lot different!
They have just brought a new roomie in. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

ReplyDeleteSorry, trying again without 10,000 typos. :) Thanks for the update, I've been thinking about Megan constantly. Next time they need to switch her meds when they already HAVE the new med available....grrrr! :( Heal quickly, my friend, lots of love to ALL of you! xoxo p.s. Good job, Lew, on the sponge shots! =]
