This is Kira, While every day and every hour is a difficult journey, so far today is going really well. Amy’s spirits are high, she’s chatting and her pain management is SOOOO much better. They switched her to a pain pump so she can push the button to release a little pain medicine when she feels she needs it.
This is a huge change to go from a pain level of 5-8 most the day to an average pain level of 2-3. Over the last week Amy has only been able to sleep for a couple hours a night with a few naps here and there. Last night she slept for nearly 6 hours! Several doctors have been in today and all have said “we’re finally heading in the right direction” Yay!
Dr. Brown is the GI doctor on her case. He comes in every day to check in and give her some daily goals. The goal today with the feeding tube is to make sure her body is working correctly having normal bowel movements, passing gas, etc. The feeding tube has started to feel a little less obnoxious. Another goal for today is to try and go for a couple strolls around the halls!
Prayer request: more rest, more strength
Yahoo! Praise Jesus! Amy you are Wonder Woman!! Love you! ♡ Love, Kara
