A Few Steps Forward. Several Steps Back

Day 6. He is not rebounding like I had hoped. We seemed to be making progress on Sunday. By Monday he was feeling rough. Last night he had a bad night. He woke up at 2 am crying and in pain. It took 15 mins to get him calmed down and back to sleep. He slept till 10:15 this morning and woke up crying and in pain again. This time I gave him some pain meds. He has toughed most of all this out w/o pain meds. He's only had 4 doses since last Wednesday. That is better than I would have done.

  3. Sometimes a regularly scheduled dose of pain med helps so that the pain doesn't spiral out of control. Just a thought from a former nurse. Poor dear. I know my cousin is still feeling bad. She said on day 8 she felt like day 1.
