This has been an eventful few days. We spent the weekend in the hospital while they got Steve’s pain under control with Dilaudid being given by IV which is faster acting than the pills. Also, they removed 2 liters of ascites. In order to do that they had to discontinue his Lovenox (blood thinner) and bridge the time he’d be off with another blood thinner, Heparin, which can only be given by IV and leaves your body in a couple of hours. Immediately after the fluid drain they started him on Lovenox again. If this makes no sense just know it was actually a good thing for him to be there for a couple of days, and he came home being more comfortable than he was when he went in.
Now his pain is stabalized with Dilaudid and, although he’s still having digestive issues, he’s more comfortable than he was last week.
We can’t thank you enough for all your cards, emails, blog comments, calls, texts and visits. Though I haven’t been able to answer each one, please know that all of us feel wrapped in your support, love, encouragement and prayers.
“For God has said, I will never leave you; I will never abandon you.” Hebrews 13:5 ….resting in this promise.
