I talked to mom today before I went to mass and she was saying how dad was up yesterday and was feeling okay - he did cut the grass and went to church. This morning he was tired and had been in bed all day but she said he hadn't said anything about pain. As I was leaving church I saw a message on my phone, Jen was taking him to the emergency room - that quickly things changed.
She said he was doubled over in pain like he was the other two times but this time was much worst. He was numb all over, cold chills and had a tingly feeling over his whole body. They gave him three shots of a pain medicine (I don't know how to spell it, demeraol?) and his pain had seemed to subside to a 7 - the doctors were monitoring him and they gave him this pain medicine to take with him. Dad didn't want to stay in the hospital - who can blame him. When I called mom this evening she said that he was sleeping.
I know dad is going to choose not to take chemo anymore. When we talked about it last week he said if he is continuing to have that pain after chemo and being miserable he doesn't want to take it, he doesn't want to live in that pain and again, who can blame him on that. So we will see what tomorrow brings, hopefully he has a restful night and hopefully the pain subsides to where he can withstand it.
Continue to pray............
Much love to all,
I am so sorry that Bill's pain returned. Does the doctor know why this happens after his chemo?
ReplyDeleteSeems strange.
Michele, there are more prayers being offered for your dad then you'll ever know. I won't be able to come to Mass tonight because of a committment to go to a fundraiser for Children's Hospital but I will be offering a hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament at St. E's North today for your dad, so the prayers will be there.
Love
Aunt Rita
Dearest Mary, Mother of God.
