DAD- He's been on chronic pain, and yesterday it was extra painful. He woke up with so much pain, he couldn't move. Breakfast in bed it was... After a little while he was able to get up and go to the hospital for his Chemotherapy. While in the hospital they had to inject him twice with morphine to control his severe pain, which is now located on his chest and legs. He had an OK evening. The nurse asked him to take Advil as well, because it "may" be an inflammation. You see, I am not OK with the "MAY BE this" "May be that" analogy anymore... I want answers- "Maybe" they should take a closer look? run exams? As much as I am terrified of hospitals I think my dad could benefit being hospitalized, so they can see for themselves the pain he goes through everyday and "maybe" they will run more tests on him to help control his pain...
Gamal (Mike's dad) suggested a PET scan.--Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique which produces a three-dimensional image or picture of functional processes in the body. (he is a nuclear medicine doctor and works with PET scans on many cancer patients.) He said my dad may benefit from this, since we do not know the cause of his pain, this may give some answers.
They made an appointment for him finally with a Pain Management Team this coming Thursday. Alleluia! Let's just hope they may have some answers... we wait anxiously...
DANIEL- Is making a decision about his leg today. To salvage or to amputate? This has got to be one of the hardest decisions one has to make... I couldn't even begin imagining. I ask God to give him guidance during this difficult time and that he may make the right decision...
Daniel, no matter what the decision is, we will be here to fully support you... we continue to think about you everyday and I can't wait to see you. Stay strong and soon you will be good again! Sending much love and positive energy your way!!
