This morning started off pretty rough again - he had multiple sessions of really sharp pain. So as I write this tonight at 10:00 he is in the process of changing over to another pain medication using a patch that we will change every 3 days along with a pump he can give himself an injection of a boost of pain med when needed. For those of you who are unaware - he had a condition called ilius - which is a major problem with the bowel and it stems from messing inside the spinal cord when they did the biopsy. The bladder and bowel go to sleep so to speak and it takes a while for them to function again properly. Answered prayer today for him - little steps in getting towards things working again. I could just see the tension drain from his face over this ordeal. He had some times today when he was doing better which was a good thing to see.
Maybe tomorrow he will have a bit more of an appetite as time moves on here. Pray that the newest pain meds will be more effective. Pray for the unknown as we adventure into hopefully bringing him home soon. They still aren't talking about when that might be. I pray for a peaceful rest for him tonight. Good night to all and thank you for your prayers and continued support and encouragement. Everyday I hear from someone else who just needed to get in touch to say they care. My family appreciates each and everyone of you so much!
