Dad was restless and jittery last night and could not get to sleep until after midnight. He spent the time reading (he has always loved to read). He was up one time in the night for pain meds and then woke up at 7:30. He is in constant pain and does not know if it is getting better. He told me this morning that his biggest challenge is that he is “feeling out of touch” with things. With all the medication he is on I think he is doing great!
Mom seems to be doing well. She has a lot going on but is handling like she always does – in style!
We did receive some frustrating news. The test which is our last hope of finding where the cancer came from was supposed to be back today. Last week we were told they did not have a large enough liver sample to complete it and the hospital was going to send them other samples. Today Dad received a call that said they did not have enough and they need him to come in later this week for another biopsy. I feel badly he has to go through this AGAIN but we are very frustrated that it takes them this long to realize they don’t have enough.
I am off to do some meditation!!
My goodness, that is terrible that they didn't do the test right!! So frustrating!
ReplyDeleteGary and Raynee, we're all rooting for you, praying for you and hope that you can soon be free of this constant pain. I can't imagine anything worse than constantly being in pain.
We love you and your family. Thank you for this blog, we check it often.
May Heavenly Father bless you both and give you the strength you need. May you feel His arms around you, constantly.
