Dad is going to be in the hospital overnight - they are still trying to manage his pain. It seems to be a bit better but not much. I am scared of what were to happen if they released him because we won't be able to manage his pain at home. So he is in there for the night - he wanted me to run home to set his DVR for he can't miss Lost :) - even though he said it drives him crazy but he still loves the show.
We are trying to get them to do another CT scan on him, but the doctors are saying things shouldn't of changed within 10days since he just had one. I know the doctors are doing their best, but it isn't his oncology doctor - these are just the residents that do rotations between two different hospitals. There has to be a reason that this extreme pain came on all of a sudden, it can't be the tumor moving because I didn't know tumors could move and if it is the cancer causing the pain, then why didn't cause him this much pain from the beginning? That is the most frustrating part is hearing they don't have answers or they can't explain it - but it has to be something.
He unfortunately got a roommate today too - I don't understand why hospitals make you room with someone - it is hard enough to get along with your own family, but to be put in a room with another family - ugh! Of course the one that came in, the daughter is loud and bubbly and dad can't saying he couldn't hit his pain medicine quick enough - it is going to be a long night for him.
I'll update more later - but for now, he is another night and they are just trying to control his pain.
Much love to all,
