Sunday Night update -- Today has been hard. Really hard. He was transitioning from epidural to IV meds to oral meds. They removed the epidural about 6:00 AM. By 7:30, he was in immense pain. They would come in and give him some very strong IV medications which would help, but not last long. There was a point where he was calling his pain a nine, he had taken everything he could. That was scary. They keep telling me today is the worst day. Mainly because of the switch. The body has to get used to the pain meds from the IV and not from the epidural.
Tonight, they are working on switching him to oral. This transition has not been as bad. He just had some Oxycodone, and before that he was rating his pain at a 6. He prefers it a 4. I can tell he is better by how he is acting. They say tomorrow will be better. I am praying it is.
