Our sweet daughter is back from a horrible day of pain just yesterday. She was made so much more comfortable last night with a big increase in her continuous pain medicine rate. That, coupled with an increase in the PCA button, meant that if she felt the slightest amount of pain, she could give herself a bump in pain meds. And, she could do it as often as every eight minutes. It made her sleepy, which was just fine with her last night!
Today, she is much better, even though the chest x-ray shows no change from yesterday. The doctors say that as long as the x-ray doesn't look worse, they are happy. Usually, it takes several days for these type of infections to clear up. So were expecting no big changes in the next day.
Also, her white blood count continues to stay at 0.2, and those weird rashes keep appearing and disappearing. The doctors have also told us they are not concerned with them unless they stick around.
Every day brings something new and thankfully today brought some relief from all the pain of yesterday.
