I had just gotten off the phone with mom at 7:00 and she said everything was okay. Sean called me at 9:45 and said that dad was in so much pain again that he was doubled over in tears. Sean took them over to the ER at the VA Hospital - luckily this time his doctor, Dr.Draper was on call - they did a ct scan and sent it over to UC for the results - it came back fine, nothing unusual that would be causing the pain. So today they are running more tests, having more specialists come in to see what is going on. We know it has to be something with the chemo because it seems like after he gets the chemo then this pain comes a couple days later.
Last time they sent him home with manageable pain, but Dr. Draper said he is not sending dad home until we find the cause of the pain. Which is great so we don't keep going back and forth. So dad is going to be in the hospital at least until Monday, maybe Tuesday. Not a good way to spend Easter - but we will postpone our Easter until he comes home, because it wouldn't be the same without him there.
So needless to say none of us, well I know I didn't sleep well last night, you just never feel right when someone you love is in the hospital for pain reasons - thoughts and thoughts are always in your mind and you just can't shut them off to sleep. I know Sean and mom didn't get home until 3:30 this morning.
I am heading over there in a few - I will update later this afternoon when I find out more.
Much love to all,
Michele- Keep us posted on your Dad's condition. I am glad they are keeping him there so he won't be in pain. Try to get some rest yourself if possible. Aunt Diana and Uncle Tom xoxox
